Knoxville has one shape that nothing else in this catalog resembles, and the artist gives it room. The Sunsphere stands apart from the towers with white space on both sides of its stalk.
What is in the drawing
Two round arches carry a low bridge across the far left, sitting flat on the base line. A building with a scalloped crown and a row of small pinnacles follows, then the towers climb steadily toward the middle, squared and slotted, the tallest finishing without ornament. Then the ground clears and the Sunsphere stands alone: a plain circle balanced on a slender vertical stalk, drawn with no detail inside it at all. Past it a low block with a curved top runs along, and the right end closes on a battlemented mass with pinnacles at its corners.
Who buys it
Orange is the reason this sells, even though the drawing has no colour in it. It is a Tennessee gift for graduations, for game weekends and for anybody who spent four years there, and the sphere is the shorthand that gets recognised across a room.
Mug or canvas
This one runs to 2.505 to 1, past the mug band by a clear margin, and the wrap brings the bridge arches round to meet the sphere near the handle. Coverage is a light 0.053. The sphere is the deciding factor: it is a single clean circle with space around it, so it stays readable at 11oz where a cluster of towers would not. This is one of the few here where the small mug loses almost nothing.
