AN ABSTRACT COLOR LITHOGRAPH, THE RED BOXER, BY LEROY NEIMAN, AMERICAN, LATE 20TH CENTURY - A vibrant abstract color lithograph depicting two boxers in dynamic motion is rendered against a saturated red ground. Executed in LeRoy Neiman’s characteristic expressive style, the composition emphasizes movement and physical intensity through bold gestural brushwork and layered areas of vivid color, including blues, yellows, greens and purples. The central figures are suggested through energetic outlines and overlapping forms rather than strict figuration, creating a sense of speed, impact and athletic drama associated with Neiman’s celebrated sports imagery. Signed in pencil, LeRoy Neiman, along the lower margin and numbered 229/250, indicating a limited edition impression. The print is presented in a simple metal frame with glazing and a wide mat. The reverse retains a plain board backing with hanging wire consistent with late 20th-century framing. Please make all inquiries before bidding. All lots are sold ”as-is”, refer to our T&C.
