"Aspen Mountain Rendezvous" by LeRoy Neiman
LeRoy Neiman (1921-2012)
"Aspen Mountain Rondezvous" Skiers and snowboarders at the base of the mountain have stored their various implements and are relaxing al fresco with espresso or mulled cider. Their multi-colored skis and snow suits burst brightly from the background of snow and ice. The social scene buzzes as much as any trendy bar in Manhattan or Miami, and Neiman has placed himself in the very midst of the action. To the right is the housing and entryway to the great ski lift, the Silver Queen Gondola, which carries skiers high into the mountain. Towering over everything is massive Aspen Mountain in icy white, blues and cool greens. Colorful specks of skiers and snowboarders sweep down the slopes at the end of their runs. ORIGINAL, HAND SIGNED and NUMBERED (328/350), Color serigraph. 32 x 35 in. Unframed. (2002)
