Thanks Randy. I deal in estates and unfortunately for artists, their work doesn't have true value until they pass away. I never saw anything to believe that Neiman was anything more than a gentleman. I appreciate all of his sports paintings and his particular style. I know of nobody who is much younger and does what he did, today. He is truly missed, and I will go as far as saying that he was a part of Americana. I hope that Hugh Hefner will give him a special tribute in an upcoming magazine.
What you say is so true. Look at Van Gogh. I believe he only sold one painting in his lifetime, and you look at what his art commands today. I always loved Neimans, I'm still hoping to pick up a few of his Las Vegas themed work. The only trouble is my wife is telling me, we no longer have room. I guess we can always buy a new house.
