Description: You are looking at a 40x40 Gold Medal Olympian Al Oerter Authentic Original Painting. This Art of the Olympians Painting measures 40"x40." These are VERY RARE! I've only seen a couple ever sold and they went for much more than what I have it listed for. Al also signed the back in pencil. This was a gift from Al and his wife to his then friend and neighbor when they lived in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. His neighbor was also a close family friend of ours and this, as well as a glicee (also selling), were given to us upon her passing. If you are interested in purchasing both, maybe a discount could be applied. Please note, I am not an art expert by any means. I can only tell you that the signature is painted on the front and signed on the back in pencil. I can also attest to the fact that this was a personal gift to his friend and neighbor. I have emails from Al's wife acknowledging the painting as the real deal. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Here is some information about this historic Olympian: Alfred Oerter Jr.(September 19, 1936 October 1, 2007) was an American athlete and a four-timeOlympic Championin thediscus throw.

Art of the Olympians also had their work on display on the giant Panasonic Astro-Vision screen inTimes Squarefor the entire month November 2006. Oerter and other Olympian artists were also featured on theCBS Morning Showto discuss their New York Tour. Message me with any questions you may have. Thanks!
