Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2021
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/23/2021
Joining once again, in collaboration with the Montreal Canadiens, Classic Auctions is pleased to offer a large collection of artifacts and memorabilia from the storied club's comprehensive archives. A number of historic specimens direct from the famous team including unique displays that were once marvelously displayed in the hallowed Montreal Forum and later at the Bell Centre are available, with an endless array of legendary and monumental players featured that all proudly once donned the sacred jersey of the mighty Montreal Canadiens.
Second to just Jean Beliveau all-time as a member of 14 Stanley Cup championship squads, Scotty Bowman is the most successful coach in NHL history, with his 1,248 wins never to be equaled. The Order of Canada recipient led five different clubs throughout his three-decade tenure, including eight noteworthy seasons behind the bench of the Montreal Caandiens (1971-1979). Originally displayed at the hallowed Montreal Forum and most likely later at the Bell Centre, we have a framed painting of Scotty Bowman by noted Habs artist Michel Lapensee. At approx 11” x 15” and executed in water colours, Bowman is beautifully depicted, with his name and tenure listed on the matte. The artist has signed, adding the date (1992), with the work double-matted and framed to approx 19” x 23”. The unique painting is flawless, with some damage to the text on the matte and wear to the frame including a few blemishes. An LOA from Classic Auctions will be included.
