Neiman's friendship with Ali is well documented. LeRoy has gone as far as contributing his personal success to the strong relationship the Champ and LeRoy built. Without doubt, Muhammad Ali was LeRoy favorite athlete and maybe even personality. So when LeRoy painted this near life-size image of the Champ he went to great pains to create an image both Ali and the sports world would appreciate forever. This extraordinary work is the finest of its kind we've yet encountered, providing one thrill after another, just like Ali did back in his prizefighting prime. We begin with the definitive portrait of the three-time Heavyweight Champ, rendered in Neiman's unmistakable kaleidoscopic style.

This work is then flawlessly printed to enormous dimensions (image area is 28x42"). Next it is autographed by artist and subject in pencil. And, just when it seems it can't get any better, we find a full color original artwork from each at the wide lower margin. Ali provides a comical commentary on his "float like a butterfly" footwork, while Neiman finds the Champ sticking his jab. Each is signed by its respective artist. Your Remarqued Limited Edition will be numbered below 500 of 850. If you love Ali and Neiman this piece is quintessential Neiman and a must have for your collection. The colors and impressionistic imagery that Neiman has used to depict this scene are absolutely striking. The bold colors make one feel that Ali is about to step from the artwork and pop them with one of his patented, powerful jabs. This monumental tribute to Muhammad Ali is a piece that Ali Fans will treasure for a lifetime. Just frame it and hang it and enjoy it for a lifetime.
