Lot 706: Michael Jordan "Mr Basketball" Signed Giclee by Steve Parson
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||||
This beautiful, brightly hued piece by Steve Parson will have you feeling like you're on Cloud 9...or 23. It has Michael Jordan displayed in five different ways. In each pose he is wearing either a Bulls or University of North Carolina jersey, and from different time periods in his career. The stunning giclee (French for "sprayed ink") is just a fabulous example of a high quality ink-jet print. The blue sky is so vivid, and you can almost touch the sweat on Michael Jordan's forehead. What really makes this piece stand out are all the bright highlights on his face and body, as if the sun was shining directly on Jordan when the artist painted him. Jordan has signed the bottom right in blue marker, and the signature grades a 10. This framed (33 x 41") piece comes with a UDA certificate for the signature. Michael Jordan is quoted as saying, regarding Parson's ability to capture Jordan's look in his artwork, "This is the best likeness of me that I've ever seen."
