Leroy Neiman was born in  1921 in Saint Paul , Minnesota and during his later life was considered the greatest American artist who was still alive. The majority of his pieces depict sporting events and leisure activities including the Olympics, Superbowl, World Series, Kentucky Derby, PGA and The Masters golf tournament, World Equestrian Games, and Wimbledon. After serving as a cook through WWII Leroy began to be recognized for his art and was put to use painting sets for the Red Cross theatre shows. He studied at St. Paul School of Art, and then at The Art Institute of Chicago while on the G.I. Bill. Leroy Neiman began his career by illustrating for Playboy magazine which he continued up until his death in 2012. Neiman has since achieved such a beloved and dedicated group of collectors after his works due to his bright, colorful, and energetic filled compositions which most people cant help but fall in love with.

This limited edition serigraph "Caspian Tiger", is full of color and energy as the lounging tiger stares at the viewer while sitting in the green bush. So much color, movement and energy is present in this piece which is a perfect example of why Neiman's pieces are so loved and collected. This is a fine piece numbered early in the edition 73/375 printed in 1986 and in stunning condition.
