Art of Baseball: 15th Annual Exhibition
Opening day of baseball season millions join together to root for
their home team, to watch, to listen and to experience. Partake in
this great American pastime at the George Krevsky Gallery’s Art of
Baseball: 15th Annual Exhibition featuring 76 drawings, paintings, and
sculptures by artists from across the country.
An all-star lineup graces this year’s show—magical third baseman
Brooks Robinson caught everything hit in his general direction during
his Hall of Fame career, Babe Ruth's steely stare scared every pitcher
from Boston to Chicago where he called his famous shot against the
Cubs in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series, and Jackie Robinson's intense
concentration helped him wall out an avalanche of hate from bench
jockeys and irate fans while he broke down baseball's color barrier in
1947. And the lineup wouldn’t complete without Yogi Berra blocking
the plate back like he owned it, and the artist captured him in his
prime playing the game he loved before he became remembered for “Yogi-
isms.”
The 15th Annual Exhibition is like a window into Cooperstown. We hope
you’ll enjoy the creative imagery of a young man’s game that captures
the heart and soul of fans new and old alike. Pitchers and Catchers
have reported to Spring Training, and the 46 artists in the show yell
“PLAY BALL!
