This Mid-Century style mosaic appears on page 68 of the "Beatsville" book by Martin McIntosh. The photo is from atomicpear's flickr, who purchased the piece on ebay. What a great find! Unfortunately the artist is unknown, so I can't get one for myself. If anyone has information on the artist who created this mosaic, please let me know!

Greetings from Sacramento, CA. Loving your wonderful blog -- imagine my surprise when I saw this -- it's me, atomicpear aka Eichlerific.com :)
From a 4.18.10 personal correspondence last year with Jerome + Evelyn Ackerman of www.ackermanmodern.com they believe this piece was done by their associate Sherrill Broudy. I do hope someone can positively identify this some day or that I run across it during my research.
Keep up the great work, so glad you are covering MCM art! Best, Gretchen
Hi Gretchen, Firstly, thanks for the kind words and stopping by my blog!
This mosaic is probably one of my all-time favorites. I have been on the look out for others like it since spotting yours and have yet to see anything close... a testament to your find! Please let us know if you discover any additional information.
Happy to stop by -- your blog is fantastic!
I will definitely let you know if I ever solve this mystery. I wound up doing a post on my blog about it too: http://www.eichlerific.com/2011/05/mystery-mcm-mosaic.html
Thanks again, Gretchen
