LeROY NEIMAN RARE SELF PORTRAIT, IMAGE SIZE DIAMETER 4 1/2", ONLY 50 COPIES MADE

*RARE* NEIMAN SELF PORTRAIT Includes Certificate of Authenticity I was a contract art dealer for LeRoy Neiman back in the 1980’s and also a Chevrolet dealer. Neiman was a friend and we worked on a special project together - a LeRoy Neiman Corvette in 1984. Only nine of these very special Corvettes were made. He had us paint the car in a special two tone gold and white, and had special white leather upholstery made for the car with a gold LeRoy Neiman signature embroidered into the headrests, plus gold alloy wheels. Then LeRoy painted this small self portrait which was silk-screened onto a special heavy paper sticker that we pealed off and put on the rear of the car and on each side post. I show a picture of the car above and the picture in the door. LeRoy did a special large oil painting of the car in a setting where horseback riders were just coming back from the hunt and were surounding the car, and we had transparencies of this painting put into the door in a special light box that lit up when the door was opened. Also LeRoy signed and numbered the cars on one of the headlight doors. With his signature mustache, hat and cigar there's no doubt that this is LeRoy Neiman. And this is the smallest size and edition of any work he did in the last decades of his life. Only 50 of these self portrait images were made and 27 were used on the cars. Only 9 are left and offered here. It is signed on the plate. This listing is for one of the Self Portraits only.
