Connecting baseball and art uncovers the remarkable artists behind the paintings, sculptures, photos and cartoons of America’s favorite pastime. Discovering baseball art allows you to appreciate both the subjects portrayed and the creative minds that produced these masterpieces. This comprehensive book celebrates these artistic talents and reveals a new world of sports art to explore, admire and collect.
A fitting companion to John Schwarz’s Time to Sell Those Sports Cards, this highly visual volume features a century’s worth of baseball art. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of museums, auction houses, galleries, and estate sales, Schwarz presents more than 400 works of baseball art, organized by category. Whether you’re starting or expanding a collection, this encyclopedic guide offers an engaging look at the artists, the artwork, and today’s marketplace, showcasing pieces across a wide range of styles, prices, and collectible value.
Schwarz agrees with baseball art expert George Krevsky, who says,
“Don’t buy art as an investment. Buy art that you love and that speaks to you. Then you’ll have pleasure and the market may surprise you.
This is John Schwarz’s ninth book in eight years. At 88 years old, Schwarz excels in storytelling coupled with extensive research and an unparalleled depth of knowledge. Whether it’s in his examination of a tennis league in World Team Tennis: The Legacy of a Sports League, or about selling his sports memorabilia collection in Time to Sell Those Sports Cards, or in either of his two books of slice-of-life short stories, A Day at the Ballpark and Living Dangerously, Schwarz delivers an enjoyable read. He recently wrote two historical novels, Dave’s Book, and Tell It Like It Was, and a biographical book about his classmates from Harvard Business School ‘63 in Eleven Interesting Lives.
Residing in Austin, Texas, Schwarz lives with his wife of more than 60 years and a very attentive five-year-old canine companion.
