This entire pie...ce is watercolor ... very dynamic !!
Lost business/jobs ... selling retirement account off would be stupid. I have a collection of Original LeRoy Neiman ... Femlins & Acrylics ... that have been in my family for years. It's time to sell. Reasonable offers will be considered.
My father was the original pastry vendor to the "very first" Playboy Club/s/ and as a result of that relationship acquired many of these Femlin's and some Acrylics. The opening GM (Arnie Morton, who went on to develop Morton's Steakhouse and whose son Peter, the founder of Hard Rock) for the Chicago Club was a dear friend and wanted dads deserts in there. Dad owned an operated a highly successful South Side Chicago landmark restaurant for years in Beverly, The Surrey Restaurant. Many dignitaries dined there including Mayor Daley, LeRoy Neiman, Hugh Hefner, Senator Everett Dirksen, amongst others.
I've met all the dealers, auctions, gallery owners, brokers, etc ... and I know what these pieces bring in well located Gallery's in New York, London, San Francisco, etc ... and I also know what they bring at auction. I'm only looking to get auction prices in most examples.
This is a fair auction price and a steal for what they are priced for in a Gallery. This piece could go for $20, 000+ in a prime Gallery location.
These were on display at Tim DeWine's Gallery in Chicago and were meeting with great success until his untimely death. Tim looked at each one of these and believed them to be the real deal.Tim was the # 1 LeRoy Neiman salesperson worldwide for 17 consecutive years !! He issued COA's on all that he sold.
Shipping quote is to lower US 48 however I can ship worldwide through the eBay System.
Shipping is high due to insurance and signature confirmation.
You can't get a better deal than this.
