Stephen Holland Prints and Multiples
American, b. 1941
Home » Stephen Holland Stephen Holland says, “I like the drama of Sports the way you see it on a TV closeup – like a slow-motion replay. I like to freeze-frame the image and display it in everyone’s living room.” Capturing the fury, emotion, and drama of sports is what Stephen Holland does best. Being trained in fine art, he brings classical form to this universal subject. His paintings, lithographs, and serigraphs are in private and corporate collections worldwide, including the Staples Center Downtown Los Angeles.
Although Holland has painted hundreds of sports paintings for commissions, lithographs, serigraphs, and commercial ventures, he is best known for his magnificent portrait of the World’s Greatest Athlete “Muhammad Ali”. Originally painted for the Silver Anniversary of the Victor Awards (honoring Ali as “Athlete of the Century”), the painting was soon selected by Ali’s wife as the image to represent him for his 50th birthday party. Giant posters of the painting flanked the landmark Wiltern Theatre in Hollywood, as thousands attended Ali’s televised tribute. A limited-edition, fine art lithograph has been issued, each numbered and signed by Muhammed Ali and Stephen Holland.
What is it that first attracted Holland to painting sports? As a young painter, unable to afford live models, he drew from boxing magazines. There he saw the male form in all its power and glory, expressed as a contemporary gladiator. Reading the articles in the magazines conveyed to him the determination and hard work that any athlete must have to be a winner. Holland found it an inspiration to himself as an artist to put as much discipline, devotion, and determination into his work, to express what both he and the athlete experience. None of this came easy for Holland.
As a child, he was disabled and had to watch his family and friends play sports, while the steel brace he wore on his leg even prevented him from attending a regular school. But handicaps often heighten one’s sensitivity, and talents may develop elsewhere. So Stephen Holland sat and sketched his friends. Though his mother used to say he began drawing as soon as he could hold a pencil, his talent blossomed while attending a specialized high school that devoted half of every day to art studies—following that he participated at the Art Students League, The School of Visual Arts, and Pratt Institute, all in New York City.
His talent and contribution to art and sports received national recognition last year when the American Sport Art Museum and Archives awarded him the honor of 1993 Sports Artist of the Year. Today Stephen Holland lives with his wife Nelle in their home/studio in Southern California.to

Forager is a signed and numbered time-limited edition of giclee prints. The Forager scours the forest in search of material for her flower arrangements. Her stork scissors cut through the veins of gold that course through each element in the landscape. Every delicate contour line in Forager has been embellished in metallic gold, and her stork scissors have been dimensionally sculpted in finely detailed relief. A severed, forlorn tulip continues the narrative below in a dimensional chop with golden line work

Lemmy & Johnny Rotten at The Limelight Club 1986 25x17 b/w photograph
Located in Norwich, GB
David Koppel served his photographic apprenticeship in the rough-and-tumble world of the Fleet Street paparazzi in 1980’s London when his skills captured the very essence of the Me Decade that gave birth to the celebrity culture of today.
Koppel’s classic photographs of Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton & the Royal Family appeared in every major newspaper and magazine and marked him out as that rarity amongst press photographers: the artist with a camera.
Building on the reputation gained through the photographs for the book Still Waters, his black-and-white portraits of ordinary people now rank among the many famous names in his portfolio.
Koppel also went one better and in 2002 bought the St Giles St Gallery , bringing the best of local and international contemporary art and photography to Norwich, including the works of Sir Peter Blake, Terry O’Neill, David Bailey, Maggie Hambling, Storm Thorgersson, Tim Woolcock...
