Winners: My Thirty Years in Sports - 1st Edition/1st Printing

Although LeRoy Neiman calls his book WINNERS, he is quick to point out that he is presenting an egalitarian study of sports. For more than a quarter of a century Neiman has worked as an artist on the sports scene, portraying losers as well as winners - the important thing was to capture players of the game and to document their incredible quality of what Ernest Hemingway referred to as 'grace under pressure.' The images that the artist has collected for this book, over 1,000 of them with more than 500 depicting particular personalities In the sports world, were selected from existing originals owned by Neiman or from collections he knows, and from ektachromes of works scattered all over the world.
