Savoy Ballroom Appraisal

Stompin’ at the Savoy

The item is a framed limited edition serigraph signed and dated 1980 by Leroy Neiman. The print depicts a lively bar scene with numerous figures engaged in various activities, including playing musical instruments like a clarinet and accordion and potentially a game of foosball. The style is characteristic of Neiman's work, featuring bold brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and a sense of energetic movement. Visible details include bottles of liquor displayed behind the bar, suggesting a convivial atmosphere. The print appears to be double signed, one in pencil and another within the plate. There is a circular embossed seal, likely indicating authenticity or a limited edition status. The overall condition appears good from the provided images, though details of the frame and any potential damage to the print itself are not fully discernible. There are no obvious tears, major stains, or significant fading visible in the crops. The craftsmanship evident in the print is in Neiman’s signature expressive style. The print is presented in a frame, though the material and condition of the frame are not clear. The background is a warm, reddish-pink hue, contrasting with the various blues, greens, and whites of the figures' clothing and the bar setting. The composition is dynamic, drawing the eye across the crowded scene.
