The pinnacle of skill and performance rendered by the top sports artist of the era. One of the most famous of all of LeRoy Nieman’s works, this vibrant lithograph of the great Yankee Clipper swinging a bat is a must have for any serious sports art collection. His perfect swing and classic follow through jump off the canvas in a ray of splendor. The energy from the crowded stands is highlighted by a sea of bright yellow and orange. Visible between his legs is the Yankee dugout. Never before could such an abstract work capture the true feeling of the moment and be, unmistakably Joe DiMaggio. Best is the pencil signatures which underline this momentous work of art in the white border. “Joe DiMaggio” on the left side and “LeRoy Neiman” on the right are both perfect. Notated as limited edition number “4/6”. NRMT. Double matted to 40 x 34”, framed to 48 x 42”.
