Collectible LeRoy Neiman
In addition to being one of the most popular artists in the United States, LeRoy Neiman is considered one of the top-earning artists on the planet. Neiman continues to create over a thousand new pieces a year. His limited edition lithographs and serigraphs sell out as a matter of course, many in a matter of just weeks after publication.
Reasons for his success are plentiful. One, he captures more than just a scene in his paintings and lithographs; he lassos the entire energy of the space. Secondly, his work is dynamic and multi-faceted; the longer one looks at it, the more one sees.
Third, he turns his eye to more than just one aspect of contemporary life. Though perhaps best known for his pieces on spectator sports, like football, baseball, basketball and more, he doesn't just limit his artistic eye to the sports arena. Neiman has created many of the most sought-after paintings of New York, Paris, London society. His Safari series quivers with tension and energy. His celebrity portraits, capturing not just their faces, but their entire attitudes, are among the most sought after in the world.
Fourth, he's highly prolific, which keeps the market full of pieces available for hungry collectors. And finally, his work retains its value. Considering all his success, it remains astonishing that "serious" critical acclaim continues to elude LeRoy Neiman. However, Mr. Neiman and his millions of fans the world over (including the curators at the Smithsonian Institute) don't seem to be overly concerned.
Neiman's work continues to be highly coveted by private collectors the world over. His work has only gone up in value over the last five decades. At Atkinson Fine Art, we are happy to assist you in the acquisition or re-circulation of the work of LeRoy Neiman.
