Sotheby's Auction-Pete Rose

QUITCRAB

Was looking through the Sotheby's catolog today and I came across a real neat item of Pete Rose-It is a Andy Warhol silk screen-I teach art and love baseball and I was unaware of this piece of art.Warhol did this piece to commemorate Rose breaking Cobbs hit record.I collect Brooks Robinson cards and If you have never seen the Norman Rockwell of Brooks Robinson,you should check that out too....
I loved all of nthe fine art in the baseball hall of fame in cooperstown-

Has any other American artist (big name) painted baseball portriats?

Leroy Neiman has included many baseball players in his body of sporting art. More impressionistic than "portrait" quality, they are nevertheless bold, colorful representations of some of the game's best.

I have the McGwire print by Neiman. His work is very nice, and as was said previously, he has painted many sports figures.

I forgot about Neiman-he is bold and colorful
