About the Item

Medium: Gouache on Board Signature: Signed 'Darden' Lower Left Sight Size 17.25" x 34.25," Framed 21.125" x 38.125" llustration from a story in Black Sports Magazine, circa 1975. A dynamic image showing the Hall of Famer stealing a base from Chicago Cubs second baseman Dave Rosello as umpire Satch Davidson calls the play in the May 25, 1974 game. Brock set the single-season stolen base record later that season, on September 10. It is likely that this artwork (based on a series of photographs of that game by Heinz Kluetmeier for Sports Illustrated) accompanied an article about that victory. At the time of his famous trade to the Cardinals from the Chicago Cubs in 1964, Brock was a .251 hitter, about to hit .348 with 33 stolen bases for the Cardinals the rest of that season. He would go on to join the 3,000-hit club and make baseball history as one of the greatest base-stealers, with a then-record total of 938 thefts.

Play at The Plate, Sporting Scene
By John Dobbs
Located in Surfside, FL
John Barnes Dobbs, a determinedly figurative painter who launched his career in the 1950s against the prevailing winds of Abstract Expressionism, lived to see a time when Realism would coexist with Abstraction, Minimalism, Conceptual Art and a variety of other artistic movements. On August 9 Dobbs died at his home in New York’s Greenwich Village at the age of 80. In his final works, Dobbs’ figures appear against flat backgrounds, iconic as the images on tarot cards: acrobats, boxers and contortionists, struggling against the physics of their own bodies and that of the universe. Dobbs had many solo shows at galleries, universities and museums. His work was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Butler Institute of American Art in Ohio, and the Salon Populiste in Paris. Dobbs’ paintings are part of the permanent collections of the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, DC; the Montclair Art Museum, Montclair, NJ; the Neuberger Museum, Purchase, NY; the Canton Museum of Art, Canton, OH and the Springfield Museum of Art, Springfield, MA. From 1972 to 1996, he was a Professor of Art at John Jay College, City University of New York. He was a member of the National Academy, to which he was elected in 1976. Born in 1931 in a small house by the Lackawanna Railroad...
