Description: Artwork is in excellent condition. Hand signed and numbered in pencil. Certificate of Authenticity included. In "Wine Alfresco", the artist characteristically pays homage to the good life while paying tribute to an influential figure in his career. After a morning sailing the Mediterranean, a yachtsman has tied up by the peninsula of Cap Ferrat and with his guests ascended a verdant hill to enjoy a petit dejeuner. As the guests celebrate their glorious day with fine libation, the host ponders a new offering from the sommelier. Once fed and refreshed the party will again set sail, this time heading due east for an evening appointment with the croupier in the salle privee of the casino at Monte Carlo. The captain of this particular yacht is none other than Dr. Armand Hammer, international entrepreneur, power broker and patron of the arts. Long-time friend of LeRoy Neiman and President of both Hammer Galleries and Knoedler Publishing, Dr. Hammer was uniquely instrumental in the extraordinary achievements of the artist. Dr. Hammer has made cameo appearances in two other Neiman prints. In "Baden-Baden" he sits contentedly behind a large pile of chips won at the roulette wheel. In "Regent's Park" he is sitting in a lawn chair with his nose buried in the Financial Times, reading the stock tables and news of his company, Occidental Petroleum. In placing Dr. Hammer in "Wine Alfresco", on the occasion of the publication of a compendium of his entire ouvre, the artist affectionately acknowledges the influence of his mentor. |
