The Market is Turning a Corner by Jeff Leedy

This is a limited edition, signed, and numbered lithograph print by contemporary humorous artist Jeff Leedy. The artwork, titled 'The Market is Turning a Corner', depicts four muscular bulls in mid-gallop, humorously wearing colorful, contemporary sneakers in shades of green, red, and yellow. The style is characteristic of Leedy's 'Art That Makes You Laugh' series, featuring vibrant pastels and a dynamic sense of motion against a dark, atmospheric background with warm yellow and orange highlights. The piece is hand-signed by the artist in the lower right margin and includes a specific edition numbering of 279/1500. The title of the work is printed or handwritten in the lower left corner of the white matting area. Critically, the condition of the framing shows significant signs of age and wear; the dark wood outer frame has numerous scuffs, paint transfer, and scratches, particularly along the top edge. The interior gold-toned fillet also shows some oxidation or wear. The white mat exhibits some light foxing or small stains in the upper left corner. This piece likely dates from the late 20th or early 21st century and exemplifies the artist's signature blend of corporate satire and whimsical illustration.
