Flamingos by A.T. Toran | Iconic Mid-Century Flamingo Print

This is the pink flamingo wall art that defined an era — a stunning 1940s offset lithograph originally produced by Turner Decorative Accessories and painted by artist A.T. Toran. Known for its vivid colors and dreamy tropical landscape, this vintage masterpiece captures the retro kitsch aesthetic that became synonymous with mid-century decor.

Unlike most vintage art, this lithograph is part of a rare “new vintage” collection. Acquired directly from Turner’s Chicago vault in 1980, these prints were stored flat, untouched, and never framed or exposed to light. Their coloration remains pristine — a fact demonstrated in our blog comparing a long-displayed print to one pulled from our archive.

Details:

  • Size: 28" wide x 22" tall
  • Medium: Offset Lithograph on paper
  • Condition: Mint – uncirculated and never displayed
  • Includes: 1981 Letter of Authenticity, care sheet, and full artist backstory
  • Exclusivity: Only available from Pink Flamingos, the sole distributor of several of Turner’s archived prints

More than just a print — this is a rediscovered piece of decorative art history. Learn how Turner shaped the mid-century market and how the true artist, A.T. Toran, was uncovered through years of research.

More information

Just like the majority of our inventory at Pink Flamingos, this listing is vintage and has never been displayed or used. It's from limited, unopened stock sourced directly from the original manufacturer or distributer. As a result, its colors are more vibrant than those typically found in similarly aged prints, leading us to classify it as "new." Curious about new vintage?

Please note that this listing is for an unframed authentic, genuine old print published in the early-to-mid 20th century using quality paper and inks. It reflects the colors and styles popular in decorative accessories of that era. The patina resulting from any minor discoloration or fading is indicative of its age and contributes to its uniqueness. In order to ensure your purchase lasts a lifetime, please follow this link for care tips.

What is "New Vintage"?

"New vintage" refers to original, vintage artwork from the early 20th century that has never been purchased, used, or displayed by a consumer.
