Ron Stark 20” x 24” Giclee Color Print of Hank Greenberg.
Lot 111. Ron Stark 20” x 24” Giclee Color Print of Hank Greenberg. It’s hard to know if the way Hank Greenberg lived or the way that he played ball earns him more respect. His .313 lifetime average and 331 home runs in 12 seasons and his MVP awards in 1935 and 1940 earned him a place in the Hall of Fame. But more than an outstanding player, Greenberg was a true role model. He broke into the majors in 1930 at age 1, and by 1933, he was chasing Foxx and Gehrig’s slugging percentage at .600. He played hard until the WWII broke out, and after being rejected for the draft twice, he enrolled voluntarily. In 1956, he became the first Jewish American to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Here Stark shows him gazing off with practice bats behind his back and glove in hand, preparing for a game. This print demonstrates why Stark as become regarded as one of the top sports artists. His work appears in many venues, including Topps’ Gallery Edition sports cards. He is the son of another artist, Bruce Stark. This print on canvas is framed in mahogany and signed by Stark. It has the appearance of an original painting, which results from combining digital and sophisticated ink jet technologies. This is a tremendous display item.
Winning Bid $134.
