LEROY NEIMAN (1921-2012) “Brooklyn Bridge” Signed Offset Lithograph

Original offset lithograph by famed American artist LeRoy Neiman (1921-2012) depicts the Brooklyn Bridge with vivid and electric shades of blue that transmute to warm hues of yellow, orange, and red. This piece is based off of a painting that has been originally created through thick palette knife work and departs from Neiman’s typical subject matter of sporting related imagery. A rare find, this lithograph has been hand signed by Neiman and framed in a sleek sable.

While working as a freelance fashion illustrator, he met Hugh Hefner and became a frequent contributor to Playboy Magazine. He traveled the world and cataloged his journeys with paintings of leisurely life, athletic competitions, and social activities. Jazz, casinos, and nightlife along with historical athletic happenings such as the Olympics, the World Series, the Super Bowl, and the Kentucky Derby were all at Neiman’s fingertips.
