Lot 1252
Amiry, Teimur. Pocket Change. An unframed still life of four coins, by internationally acclaimed painter Teimur Amiry, highlighted by a penny standing on its side adjacent to a folded upright dollar bill. This piece is hand painted by the artist over a photo print (this process is known as an oil graphic) on a textured paper that resembles a canvas, and then stretched and attached to a hardwood frame. It measures 11" x 14" so it can accommodate a variety of ready made frames.
Teimur Amiry is recognized throughout the world, especially in the U.S., Italy, France, Germany and England for his Modern Renaissance paintings. As a young man Mr. Amiry travelled throughout Europe, spending most of his time in Italy where his work was lauded by the Italian media as the "Reinvention of the genius of Leonardo DiVinci". He owned three galleries in Beverly Hills over a forty year period (Beverly-Wilshire Hotel, Rodeo Drive, and Beverly Drive). His many high profile clients include Sophia Loren, Ringo Starr, Kirk Douglas, and Tony Bennett. Examples of his work were left in the estates of Howard Hughes, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. Amiry's three dimensional images against dark velvety backgrounds are so real that they practically jump off the canvas. His trademark is a faint image of himself hidden somewhere in his paintings.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
