Leroy Neiman Serigraph Appraisal

Frank Sinatra 'The Voice' Serigraph by Leroy Neiman

This item is a framed serigraph (screen print) depicting the legendary singer Frank Sinatra in a dynamic, colorful style characteristic of artist Leroy Neiman. The serigraph features Sinatra mid-performance, wearing a fedora hat, a light-colored suit jacket, and a bright red tie, singing into an ornate, vintage-style microphone. His mouth is open in song, and there's a strong sense of movement and energy captured through Neiman's typical vigorous brushstrokes and vibrant color palette. The background is a swirl of bold, expressive colors including yellows, oranges, blues, greens, and reds, adding to the theatricality of the scene. The image is housed within a simple, narrow silver-toned metal frame with a glass or acrylic front, and a white mat surrounds the print, although some of the white border of the print is visible beyond the mat. Visible inscriptions at the bottom include a facsimile signature of 'Frank Sinatra' on the left and the artist's signature 'Leroy Neiman' on the right, along with small copyright text ('COPYRIGHT BY LEROY NEIMAN'). The print quality appears good, with rich, saturated colors and clear lines, suggesting it is a well-executed serigraph. No significant damage like tears, creases, or foxing is immediately visible on the print itself, although minor dust or glare on the frame's protective covering might be present. The artwork blends portraiture with abstract expressionism, a hallmark of Neiman's celebrity and sports art. The estimated age would be late 20th century, consistent with Neiman's active artistic period and Sinatra's peak popularity. The framing is utilitarian, designed to protect and display the artwork without overshadowing it. The overall impression is one of a high-quality collectible art print.
