Leroy Neiman Signed 'Augusta Golf' 1990 Serigraph-Depicts Nicklaus/Faldo On 10th Tee @Masters
LeRoy Neiman trained at Chicago's prestigious School of the Art Institute, known for his trademark handlebar mustache and his bright, impressionistic portrayals of the world's top sporting events was a regular at major golf events as evidenced in his acclaimed 1992 coffee table book, BIG TIME GOLF. It was only natural that Neiman would appear at the Augusta National for the Masters. This magnificent work of Neiman is captured in this piece which is matted to 36" x 29 1/4". It depicts Jack Nicklaus following through on the tenth tee of Masters play while Nick Faldo who would win the 1990 Masters watches. The artist has carefully noted Nicklaus' classic swing, and even his interlock grip. Over Jack's shoulder the background is presented with the famed enormous oak tree which stands beside the stately Georgian clubhouse, both instantly recognizable to fans of the Masters. The event, like this serigraph, affords the viewer verdant beauty and golfing excellence. Neiman captures the pageantry as well as the athletic grace of the course in Augusta. As is traditional this work comes hand signed in pencil (a '10' signature strength) by LeRoy Neiman in the right lower hand corner of the work. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature, and their letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
