"Roulette II" by LeRoy Neiman

As collectors of LeRoy Neiman know, he has always been drawn to the subjects of sports, leisure and the ways the wealthy amuse themselves. In the casino, these themes come together like nowhere else. The artist has been a habit of all the world's great gaming centers, from Las Vegas and Atlantic City to Monte Carlo and Baden-Baden.

Like the roulette wheel itself, the featured work is dominated by red and black. Neiman has portrayed a European table with a diverse international crowd in elegant evening attire. The attention of all is riveted on the board, whose numbers hold the promise of easy earnings. The players strain to place their final bets before the croupier lets loose the ball. Some are enjoying a special night out. Some are coldly calculating, working hard at their play. The very rich are blas in the hope of some amusement. The desperate hope against reason. And the bystanders simply observe, enthralled but perhaps too timid to risk parting with their own hard-earned cash.
