Dana Mayes visiting Turner Manufacturing circa 1980
Our collection began in 1978, when my parents—long before online marketplaces or digital catalogs—began sourcing original lithographs and fine art prints directly from printers, publishers, and estates. They were drawn to work from the early- and mid-20th century: pieces defined by strong composition, rich color, and skilled craftsmanship.

Over decades, they built relationships with printing houses and artists, often corresponding directly by letter. Many of the prints were acquired in bulk and stored flat in their original packaging, never framed, never displayed, and never sold. What began as a business over time became an archive.

Bringing the archive online
I am their daughter, and today I steward this collection through Pink Flamingos.The works we offer are original editions—printed between the 1920s and 1970s—preserved in remarkable condition. These are not reproductions, revivals, or decorative reprints. They are vintage prints exactly as they were found: intact, vibrant, and historically grounded.

What we offer is simple: original vintage art, carefully kept, and passed on intact.

Letters, notes, and documentation accompany the work, providing context that is often lost over time. Where possible, we share that history alongside the prints—not to romanticize the past, but to preserve it accurately. Pink Flamingos exists to reintroduce these works thoughtfully and responsibly. Each print is handled with care, described with precision, and offered with respect for its origin. This is not a trend-driven collection, but a preserved one—made available piece by piece.
