Dick Perez Pen and Ink and Pencil Artwork Collection
This auction presents an offering of 12 lots of legendary baseball artist Dick Perez's interesting and intimate pen and ink and pencil artworks. The group may present as a departure from what collectors usually expect to see from Dick's trademark style, so full of color. But these drawings see a quieter, more considered artist at work--searching for an essence, seeking to capture a subject in just the right light and mood. Enjoy this access to a unique group of special artworks from Dick Perez.
Hall of Famer Eppa Rixey appears worn if not weary in this depiction from the pen of Dick Perez. After a decade with the Phillies, missing one year to serve in WWI, Rixey spent 12 seasons hurling for the Cincinnati Reds. It's from this later period that Dick drew his inspiration to create this drawing. The artwork measures 9 x 12 inches and presents in Near Mint to Mint condition.
