Gallery Note:
LeRoy Neiman was the definitive visual chronicler of the post-war international jet-set, capturing the kinetic energy of sports, high-stakes gambling, and luxury leisure. Monte Carlo Chase is a premier example of Neiman's most commercially celebrated motifs: the roaring glamour of Grand Prix culture, classic European luxury automobiles, and the sun-drenched, high-rolling lifestyle of the Monaco coast.
Neiman, with his trademark handlebar mustache and cigar, was a frequent compatriot of Nikki Haskell across the VIP rooms of Studio 54 and international holiday hotspots. The incredibly warm, handwritten inscription along the margin—“Remember that trip? transforms this vibrant artwork into a joyous, personal diary entry. It beautifully documents a specific, glamorous moment shared between a legendary artist and an iconic American socialite.
