#109 Pink Palace Print David Lynch

PINK PALACE MUSEUM  

In 1922 grocery store magnate, Clarence Saunders, founder of the Piggly Wiggly grocery chain, announced to the press with his typical flair & fanfare that he would build a palariaal estate on the eastern fringe of Memphis Tennessee. Saunders named his 36,500 sq ft house, faced with pink Georgia marble, "Cla-de-Clare" after his 3 children, but Memphians nicknamed it the Pink Palace. Saunders lost his fortune before the building was complete, & the Mansion opened as the Memphis Musuem of Natural Historry & Industrial Arts in 1930. 

David Lynch is a celebrated Memphis based artist who feels the Heart & Soul of this great city in every brushstroke of paint applied.
