I am NOT an artist but I can certainly appreciate extraordinary work when I see it and I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to see one 's own artwork that is a result of hundreds of hours of time be given less than stellar exposure like the Lelands auction did. I just never understood why, when selling a significant piece extreme care does not go into showing the piece off. I mean lets face it, we are not talking about a 500 dollar Stan Musial card here, this is a significant painting that required more work to showcase than what was put into it.
For the consignor and the artist this must be very frustrating. |

Maybe that's why it was withdrawn? The picture and overall representation were severely lacking.
Also... thanks Graig for your perspective. Any and all of us Net54 guys who saw it in Lelands' Catalogue were probably wondering what you were thinking/feeling. |

Absolutely love that Willie Mays Painting! The lighting/shadowing on his face and cap are incredible. Such amazing depth to that one... I amost expect him to start talking!
But what is Mantle so sad about? Any info about the circumstances related to that pose? He looks like he needs some Zoloft
