Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction March 2011

Best known for his brilliantly colored, rousing images of energetic sporting events and athletes, LeRoy Neiman is probably the most popular living artist in the United States. His work, "The Great Gretzky" is the definitive artistic interpretation of hockey's all-time leading scorer. This image captures the essence, movement and grace of Gretzky in vivid tones of blue, red and a myriad of graphic color. This seldom-seen promo poster print, produced in 1981 to market the popular edition of 359 total serigraphs, has been hand-signed at the bottom by LeRoy Neiman and Wayne Gretzky in pencil. It has been preserved in excellent condition with only a few light surface creases on various areas, and light folds on the lower edge area which would be flattened once framed. Poster is printed on thick paper stock, measures 22 3/8" x 34 3/4" and has a superb and big (1 1/4" x 5") rookie-era signature of the Great One and displays beautifully.
