LeRoy Neiman
Please click to view our current inventory of Neiman prints and books.
Best known for his brilliantly colored, stunningly energetic images of sporting
events and leisure activities, LeRoy Neiman is probably the most popular living artist in the United States.
His use of free flowing enamel paints allow Neiman to instill a sense of action and vigor into his paintings
that traditional oils or watercolors can’t.
He was the official artist at five Olympiads. Millions of people have watched him at
work: on ABC TV coverage of the Olympics, as CBS Superbowl computer artist, and at other major competitions,
televised on location with his sketchbook and drawing materials, producing split-second records and highly
developed images of what he is witnessing.
A teacher at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for 10 years early in his
career, after studying there, Neiman also gained wide recognition as a contributing artist for Playboy, in the 1950s.
Many of his images of what he calls “the good life,” have appeared in the form of etchings,
lithographs, silkscreen prints, and sculptures as well as paintings, in the permanent collections of public and
private museums and other institutions worldwide. These institutional acquisitions, along with sales of approximately
150,000 of his silkscreen prints to individuals, attest to the enormous appeal of his work.
