Blood Tennis

Blood Tennis captures the raw intensity of competitive sport through LeRoy Neiman's signature expressionistic lens, transforming a moment on the court into a visceral celebration of athletic prowess and human determination. Created in 1988, this serigraph demonstrates Neiman's masterful command of color and movement, with bold gestural marks and a vibrant palette that conveys the explosive energy of professional tennis. The composition pulses with action, the players rendered in dynamic poses that suggest the split-second drama inherent to the sport, while the rich jewel tones and contrasting hues create an almost dreamlike intensity around the central figures. This edition print, numbered 116 of 300, represents a significant work from Neiman's prolific career documenting the world of competitive athletics. The artist's ability to distill sporting drama into a composition that functions equally as a technical achievement and an emotional experience has secured his position as one of America's most recognizable sports artists. At this price point, Blood Tennis offers collectors an accessible entry into Neiman's sporting oeuvre while maintaining the quality and craftsmanship that has made his works enduringly popular among both seasoned collectors and those newly drawn to the genre.
