LeRoy Neiman
LeRoy Neiman, "The Great Secretariat", 27x34 Signed Limited Edition Serigraph

About the Item

The featured serigraph portrays Secretariat in full stride, nearly airborne, characteristically stretching toward the finish line. The red-hued horse and his jockey (Ron Turcotte) wear their unique blue and white check silks, representing the legendary Meadow Stable. Vibrant in color and meticulous in detail, Neiman also captures the white wisps in the cannon and fetlock. LeRoy Neiman previously released Secretariat (Big Red) in 1973 and Secretariat II in 1990. It is a testament to the horse’s greatness that Neiman has released prints of him three times. Among humans, only Muhammad Ali and Frank Sinatra have been so honored. Truly exclusive company. Neiman paintings and prints are as prized for their beauty as their investment potential. His earlier Secretariat serigraphs listed above have long since sold-out and currently can command upwards of $8000 on the secondary market. The serigraph was produced in a limited edition of 250 numbered impressions measuring 25 ½” x 34" and signed by the artist. owner Penny Chenery's and Ron Turcotte's signature as well. "The Great Secretariat" was commissioned in part to benefit the Secretariat Foundation, which is devoted to the fields of research, rehabilitation, and retirement for Thoroughbred horses... a great painting for a great cause! Anyone who appreciates fine art will treasure this portrait of a great champion for generations to come. The Process: Printing, especially serigraphy, was LeRoy’s most prolific medium. During his busiest time period, Neiman printed an average of six serigraphs per year. The works were printed in limited edition runs by hand in New York City at several print shops through the years, namely at BrandX. Serigraphs or silkscreens are created one color at a time and sometimes have up to 60 layers of color per print. The serigraphs are recognizable by the artist’s signature primary color palette and expressionist style. Neiman also used printing techniques like monoprinting, etching, lithography. Through his global travels, LeRoy encountered and became fascinated with the majestic, exotic animal kingdom. His most visited creatures, including big cats, elephants, and horses, reflect his joie de vivre and ferocious confidence. Many of these pieces were inspired by trips through the sweeping plains of Africa, where Neiman determined to record the safari as art.
