LeRoy Neiman Twice Signed Copy of His Art Book ”Horses” — With His Signed Hand-Drawn Sketch of a Horse on the Title Page

LeRoy Neiman signed horse sketch within his signed book ”Horses,” published by Henry M. Abrams: New York: 1979. The famed expressionist painter of high-profile sporting events, including the Kentucky Derby, sketches a horse in profile to the title page and signs it ”from LeRoy for Sue”. Upon the fly-leaf he signs his full name ”LeRoy Neiman” in pencil, along with an ink inscription, ”To Sue Rees with love / Dec. VIII nineteen 70 nine”. Inscription seems to have been penned at a different time from signature itself. Neiman’s ability to covey the look and feel of dynamic action in fast-paced athletic competitions resulted in his acclaim as the first sports artist of the world. The Smithsonian, the Whitney Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and many others across the world count his art among their permanent collections. Hardcover volume runs 350pp. Measures 14.5” x 14.25”. With original dustjacket and pictorial endpapers. A blank bookplate is affixed to front free endpaper, along with a newspaper clipping on Neiman, else near fine.
