is an unsigned color image of his Soccer. LeRoy Neiman (1921-2012)
is best known for his brilliantly colored, energetic illustrations. Based
in New York City, he is recognized as the consummate sports artist of the 20th
century. In 1972 he was named the official artist for the Olympic
Games. He was designated the outstanding sports artist in America by the
Amateur Athletic Union (1976) and was given the Olympic Artist of the Century
Award in 1979, and Sport Artist of the Year Award in 2007. This calendar page
is a reproduction of his 1990 serigraph (original size 28½x38) that was produced
in a limited edition of 550 numbered impressions. Featured is Jack
Nicklaus, who appears in a number of Neiman's other works. Nicklaus, who had
just won a Senior Tour event in Scottsdale, Arizona, had hoped to become the
oldest (at 47) to win the Masters. Ironically, the event was won by defending
champion Nick Faldo, the first to win back-to-back green jackets since the feat
had been accomplished by Nicklaus in 1965-1966. Lightly creased at margins. File
hole at upper background. Fine condition.
