LeRoy Neiman & New York City

LeRoy Neiman doesn't just have his studio in New York City. In many ways, his studio is New York City. Though Neiman is most well known for his breathless works capturing sports' definitive moments, many of his finest pieces depict the people and places that are quintessentially Manhattan.

New York's various neighborhoods capture the dizzying contradictions that make this city great. From the glittering and noisy street-scenes of Times Square to the quiet hole-in-the-wall 3:00 a.m. hush of the bars frequented by the men of the Fourth Estate, New York is an American city like no other. Having made his life and art there for multiple decades, Neiman paints the places he knows, the places New Yorkers know, and captures not only the setting, but the true feel.

From jovial cocktail hours at PJ Clarke's to the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset; expectant crowds gathering 20 minutes to curtain at Lincoln Center, followed by apres-show drinks at Rao's and the 21 Club; the stern facade of the New York Stock Exchange, followed by the bar scene on Wall Street after a grueling day of trading; mornings at the Boat House at Central Park; afternoon tea at Tavern on the Green and opening nights on Broadway. LeRoy Neiman paints New York. Like the city, his colors are fierce and vibrant. His moods full and present.
