Citgo Sign

This Ana Inciardi mini print captures the iconic Citgo sign as a hand-drawn and hand-colored rendering, showing the large billboard structure mounted on its steel support framework. The sign itself dominates the composition, rendered in crisp black ink line work with the red triangle logo colored in by hand and the bold blue CITGO lettering beneath it. The background of the sign face is filled with dense horizontal hatching, giving it texture and depth, while the skeletal scaffolding below is drawn with careful architectural detail. At the bottom of the image, a handwritten label reads "citgo sign" in lowercase script. The Citgo sign is a landmark billboard located in Kenmore Square in Boston, Massachusetts, and has been a recognized piece of the city's skyline for decades. It sits near Fenway Park and has become strongly associated with Boston identity and Red Sox culture. Collectors are drawn to this print for its mix of technical draftsmanship and the handmade warmth of the colored-in logo, which gives the piece a personal, almost sketchbook quality. It appeals both to Boston locals and to collectors who appreciate urban landmark subjects rendered with this kind of intimate, small-scale detail. As a landmark print, it pairs naturally with other city and architecture subjects in Inciardi's catalog, and collectors often group it alongside her other urban scenes. The modest scale and the visible hand-coloring make it a distinctive piece that reflects a consistent approach throughout her work.
