Description
Nolan Ryan Signed Original Painting by Christopher Paluso With a skill and humanity reminiscent of the great Saturday Evening Post artist Norman Rockwell, celebrated sports artist Christopher Paluso does far more than simply capture his famous subjects with photographic realism. His years of training and experience, and his innate gift for his craft allow him to evoke something deeper in the sports heroes he depicts, a gift that has brought him raves from the athletic world and beyond. Paluso's artwork has been featured on covers of All-Star Game programs, sports magazines, book illustrations, Fotoballs and commemorative plates. He is the official artist of the San Diego Hall of Champions, the San Diego Holiday Bowl Hall of Fame, the Hawthorn Race Course Jockey Hall of Fame, and the Missouri Valley Conference Hall of Fame. His artwork, such as those listed below, are among the most sought after of all such works in the hobby. We are pleased to present this fine assortment of Paluso's best works, signed by the men fortunate enough to serve as his subjects.Lithographs are great (a fine limited edition of 383 was created from this piece, one of which is offered in this auction), but nothing beats the original itself. We are pleased to offer this magnificent study of the game's most dominating pitcher, a one-of-a-kind oil on board work featuring five images of the ageless master of the mound when he was still hard at work. Note that the small window at bottom right pictures baseballs used in his five no-hitters. Perhaps if the winning bidder runs into Paluso one day, he could have him add numbers six and seven, which each came after the 1987 creation of this work. The image are measures 19.5" x 24", and is matted to an overall area of 2" x 30". As Paluso's star continues to rise (and certainly Nolan Ryan's legacy will never falter), this piece could only climb in value. A beautiful work, and a strong investment to boot.
