Original limited edition serigraph titled \"Happy Hour, Nome\" by celebrated Alaskan artist Rie Muñoz (1921–2015).
Created in 1980, this charming composition captures a snowy evening outside the iconic Breakers Bar in Nome, Alaska. Through the warmly lit window, patrons gather around drinks beneath a vintage \"Oly\" beer sign while a bundled pedestrian walks past in traditional winter clothing. The contrast between the deep blue Arctic night and the inviting warmth inside the tavern perfectly reflects Muñoz\'s beloved ability to portray everyday life in Alaska with warmth, humor, and nostalgia.
Known for her distinctive folk-art style, Rie Muñoz became one of Alaska\'s most recognized artists, celebrated for documenting the state\'s communities, traditions, and daily life through colorful, story-filled compositions. Her limited edition prints remain highly collectible and are sought after by both Alaskan art enthusiasts and collectors of American regional art.
This example is hand signed in pencil by the artist in the lower right margin and individually numbered 371/500 in pencil. The title, \"Happy Hour, Nome,\" is also inscribed in the lower left margin.
The colors remain wonderfully rich, with crisp detail throughout the image and generous, clean margins, making this an especially attractive collector\'s example.
Whether displayed in a home, cabin, office, or Alaskan-themed interior, this delightful winter scene offers warmth, personality, and timeless charm.
Condition:Excellent vintage condition. This original unframed limited edition serigraph has been carefully stored flat for many years and presents beautifully. The paper remains crisp with bright, clean margins and exceptionally vibrant original color. I find no visible foxing, staining, tears, creases, repairs, or significant handling wear. The pencil signature and edition number remain sharp and well-defined. Overall, this is an exceptionally well-preserved example that displays beautifully and would make an outstanding addition to any Rie Muñoz or Alaskan art collection. Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
