Winning Bid: $216.53
Price Realized: $258.75
Auction Date:8/31/2001 9:00 PM EST

Dazzling oil on canvas of the greatest Jewish boxer of all. Very dramatic and "antique" look with yellow background and grey shadowing. Spectacular oil paintings were used for the cover of this, the preeminent Mexican boxing magazine of the last few decades: Ring Mundial. These one-of-a-kind paintings which are mostly oil-on-canvas (they were then mounted on artist's board), each measure about 20x15". They are in EX-MT condition and were obtained from the daughter of Valente Perez, the sportsman-entrepreneur-artist who published the magazine and also did these paintings! A wonderful collection that we have sold many of over the last year. THIS IS THE LAST OF THE COLLECTION.
