Lot 478: Ted Williams by LeRoy Neiman
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Ted Williams being painted by LeRoy Nieman is a bit like Marilyn Monroe being done by Andy Warhol. It is an unsurpassed teaming of pop culture icon and artist, producing stunning results. Williams always hit, and Neiman, the preeminent sports painter, rarely missed as well. This 30- by 19-inch serigraph (MINT) is signed by Williams (9.5/10) and Neiman (9/10) in pencil. Handsomely framed work measures 38 by 32 inches in total. Neiman's color-dappled brush style is never finer in this homage to The Splendid Splinter.
