Peter Bunell? It’s signed PETER with a vertical slash on the “R”
Dimension in frame: H: 32” x W: 56” x D: 2” Looks like a wooden frame painted gold No obvious damage, I am not an expert but there are no tears or scrapes in the canvas. I would say it is in great condition.
My grandparents who lived in San Francisco owned the painting and it was passed down to my father after they passed. We are not sure when/if they bought it or if it was given to them.

This is a vintage, Mid Century Modern era, Brutalist style, about 1960s, original painting of a perspective view of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco that can be attributed to Peter Bunell. This particular large size, being 56" x 32" is referred to as a ‘sofa’ or ‘couch’ painting, as it would be a elegant wall statement above a new sofa. These were usually sold in decorator shops, furniture show room stores and department store furniture sections. The estimate is for catalogue auction sale and is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary. Insurance and estate tax purpose appraisals will also vary and are not provided here.
