Titled Bay Area Baseball , issued in 1990, serigraph numbered "114/450," signed by Neiman in pencil in the lower right (grading "10"). Edition limited to 536 total impressions (450 numbered impressions, 80 artist's proofs, and 6 printer's proofs). The colorful artwork pays homage to the many baseball stars who have played in the San Francisco/Oakland bay area over the years. Among the players prominently depicted here standing around the batting cage are Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, Reggie Jackson, Willie McCovey, Dave Parker, Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco, Kevin Mitchell, and Lefty O'Doul. Fascinating subject matter for LeRoy Neiman, whose sports-related artworks usually feature a single modern subject and rarely capture a history-inspired concept, and only the second example of this serigraph we have ever presented. The serigraph displays three separate mounting remnants along the reverse top border as a result of having been removed from a frame; otherwise in Near Mint condition. 35.75 x 28 inches (image area). Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000. SOLD FOR $588
