ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $100.00
Winning Bid: $240.59
Price Realized: $287.50
Auction Date:8/31/2001 9:00 PM EST

Special image of the man who will not stop (or be stopped). Oil on artist's board features a huge head of Duran in amazingly intricate detail. The quality is magnificent right down to the stubble of his beard. He is flanked by a very early shot of this Panamanian Assassin. 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.
