Description
Renowned artist Andy Jurinko believed the golden age of baseball was 1946-1960, an era that, not coincidentally, coincided with his childhood. Jurinko spent twenty years creating more than 600 portraits of the colorful characters and stadiums that typify this era. This title collects together his portraits from baseball's golden age.
For more than forty years, Andy Jurinko's hyper-realistic paintings provided viewers with an unconventional glimpse into familiar aspects of American popular culture. Born in New Jersey in 1939, he attended the Philadelphia Museum College of Art in 1961- 1963. His first solo exhibition was in September 1967 at the Lowell Colbus Gallery in Sausalito, CA. In 1975, Jurinko moved to New York City and in 1986 he began exhibiting at Gallery Henoch in Soho, including one man shows there in 1989 and 1996. His baseball paintings have appeared on the covers and in more than twenty books. He passed away in February 2011.
