In this famous sports car endurance race first held in 1923, high performance vehicles ranging from prototypes to streetcars, race simultaneously in a number of different classes, with the overall winner being the team that covers the greatest distance in twenty-four hours. LeRoy Neiman's vibrant color captures the exhilaration and speed of cars thundering down straights at well over 300 km/h. Spectators are gripped in the suspense of this human and technical challenge as drivers test the limits. This exceptional circuit, the longest in the world, exists in an aura created by the world's most renowned and greatest drivers in motor sports. Since 1923, Bentley, Mercedes, Ferrari, Jaguar, and Porsche have contributed to the mystique of the Le Mans legend.
In Le Mans Grand Prix d'Endurance the scene is set as we witness the waving of the French flag, signaling the famous "Le Mans start." Neiman places us in the viewing stands. We are the spectators. Multicolored flags representing the participating nations wave proudly in the breeze, the tension and excitement builds. The cars pull out and we're off! Racecar enthusiasts or not, you can't help being caught up in the thrill of the moment. A moment transformed with the vigor, the energy and the extraordinary brushwork of the artist, LeRoy Neiman.
To quote the artist, "A twenty-four hour race, the scene, even more surreal than Indy, bars and parties going full blast, a rich variety of mementos for sale, nonstop music and the never-ending drone of engines."
