What’s The Score? The Posters of LeRoy Neiman

September 2, 2021–March 27, 2022
A white exhibition wall of posters with American boxers painted in hues of green and orange.

LeRoy Neiman designed posters announcing boxing matches, marathons, automobile races, golf tournaments, tennis championships, football games, and five Olympics. His work also became the face of some of the most established jazz festivals in the United States. 

In honor of the centennial of his birth year, this capsule exhibition highlights some of Neiman’s best advertising posters, promoting sporting events and concerts around the world.

This exhibition comes to Poster House through a generous donation by the LeRoy Neiman and Jane Byrne Neiman Foundation
