The Bubble Reborn! Master of American Contemporary Prints, LeRoy Neiman, Silkscreen, Masterpiece, Rare
Leroy Neiman emerged in Japan around the dawn of the bubble economy in the 1980s, a highly popular contemporary artist from the American West Coast.
While Warhol and Lichtenstein are famous for silkscreen prints in Japan, Neiman is the artist that comes to mind when thinking of West Coast Pop Art.
During the bubble era, artists like Hiro Yamagata, Christian Riese Lassen, Li-Zhi, Ivan Albright, and Mark King were imported from America, and major sales companies held exhibitions nationwide. However, Neiman's work surpasses that class.
At the time, such large-scale pieces would cost around 3 million yen.
This is a luxurious, high-quality print with the exquisite texture of silkscreen, painstaking craftsmanship, and a grandeur that must be seen up close.
This piece, in terms of its imagery, is arguably the best of Leroy Neiman's career.
During the bubble period, cars featured incredibly luxurious interiors and prioritized performance over fuel efficiency, with many interesting models. However, due to their nature, cars from that era are now virtually impossible to obtain, with some fetching tens or hundreds of millions at auction.
Homes during the bubble were like modern art museums with exposed concrete, located in city centers, but were demolished after the bubble burst.
In the case of paintings, what made prints from the bubble era bubbly was the use of the highest quality paper and thick, premium printing surfaces. They were of immense size, with dazzling, pop imagery, unimaginable today. They were also housed in luxurious, stylish custom frames with no compromise on materials. This is what we mean by bubbly. Like the cars of the bubble era, such extravagant, large-scale works were circulated. Yet, unlike cars, despite being tangible assets for a lifetime, they tend to disappear, much like cars and houses. The discovery of such a monumental work by Neiman, embodying the essence of the bubble era, is truly a miracle. In the history of Neiman's listings on Yahoo Auctions, a masterpiece like this is unprecedented. It's on par with Hiro Yamagata's Perrier or Snow Castle. We kindly request your consideration and bids.
