| Description |
James Fiorentino, who has been painting professionally since the age of 12, has an uncanny ability to bring to life the images in his paintings -- using only watercolors. At the age of 15, James became the youngest artist to have a piece featured at the Baseball Hall of Fame, when his artwork of Reggie Jackson was selected as the official portrait for Jackson's induction.
On Saturday, September 24, you're invited to join us as the Clubhouse celebrates the legendary ballplayers and professional sports franchises that called Ebbets Field, the Polo Grounds, Shea Stadium and Yankee Stadium home -- through the baseball paintings of James Fiorentino.
Twenty original Fiorentino paintings will be on display; many are new pieces James has been working on to unveil in the Clubhouse, including Jackie Robinson, Lou Gehrig, Tom Seaver, Sandy Koufax, Mickey Mantle and Derek Jeter. Also available for purchase will be selected giclee reproductions.
A portion of the proceeds from all sales of Fiorentino's artwork during the show will be donated to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. The show will run through Saturday, October 15.
"I am so excited to have a show once again in the greatest art city in the world and the greatest baseball city as well. I have had a great deal of success having shows in New York City and really look forward to having a great turnout," Fiorentino said.
Join us for our Opening Party on Saturday, September 24. Say hello to James -- a mensch and a master -- while enjoying his beautiful artwork on a Saturday afternoon in the Clubhouse.
