All Told
LeRoy Neiman was arguably the world’s most recognizable contemporary artist until his passing in June 2012. He broke the barrier between fine art and popular art while creating indelible images that helped define the twentieth century. But it is the life he lived and the people he knew that make the memoir of this scrappy Depression-era kid who became a swashbuckling bon vivant with the famous mustache such a marvelous historical canvas.

LeRoy Neiman
"LeRoy Neiman's story cuts a fascinating swath through the highs and lows-personal, professional, and cultural-of America over 90 years. He became a household name, his artwork saturated American culture for decades, and he rose high enough to be a pop culture punchline. Neiman was a keen self-promoter, saying later in life that even he didn't know who the real LeRoy Neiman was, but that all the fame and money that came his way was worth it.
