Leroy Neiman Arnold Palmer The Winning Putt Augusta National Serigraph Print Appraisal

LeRoy Neiman 'Arnold Palmer: The Winning Putt' Augusta National Serigraph Print

This item is a framed artistic print by the renowned American artist LeRoy Neiman, famously known for his expressionist style and vibrant depictions of sporting events. The piece captures a historic golfing moment, specifically featuring Arnold Palmer at Augusta National during the 1964 Masters Tournament. The composition is characterized by Neiman's signature use of bold, rapid brushstrokes and a diverse color palette consisting of deep greens and blues in the foliage, contrasted against the vivid red, blue, and yellow patterns of the spectators' umbrellas in the foreground. This specific imagery is synonymous with a rainy day during the Masters. The print appears to be a serigraph or high-quality lithograph, and it features a facsimile or printed signature of 'LeRoy Neiman' in the lower right area, along with inscriptions seemingly referencing the date 'April 12, 1964' and 'Augusta National.' The artwork is housed under glass within a dark blue matte and a simple black or dark wood frame. Regarding condition, there are significant diagonal white lines and bright glares across the surface; while some are light reflections, there appear to be visible scuffs or scratches on the protective glass or the print itself. The piece likely dates from the late 20th century, consistent with the height of Neiman's commercial popularity for sports memorabilia. Its market value is heavily influenced by whether it is a hand-signed limited edition or a commercial open-edition reproduction.
