RareInk to Produce MLB Modern Art Collection
RareInk has announced a new licensing agreement with Major League Baseball Properties and the Major League Baseball Players Association to offer fans a collection of cutting-edge, limited-edition artwork featuring MLB players past and present, historical moments and ballparks.
Available on RareInk.com, the collection features more than 500 pieces of original and photo-based artwork of current MLB stars, members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and iconic ballparks. The collection of officially licensed artwork includes modern art styles ranging from ultra-realism to street art to minimalism, with RareInk commissioning original works from internationally acclaimed artists.
“RareInk is reinventing sports wall décor by offering an enormous collection of cutting-edge art in styles typically not seen by fans,” said Tim Muret, CEO of RareInk. “Today’s fan is looking for something uniquely artistic for their walls to capture their passion for baseball and RareInk delivers the game like it has never been seen before.”
Highlights of the collection include art of: Mickey Mantle from his 1951 rookie season; Cal Ripken’s consecutive game record (Grzegorz Domaradzki, Poland); Stan Musial’s career accomplishments (Kerry Laster, Atlanta); the Giants 2012 World Series title (AJ Dimarucot, Phillipines); and all 30 current MLB ballparks recreated in minimalist form by UK artist Marcus Reed.
Additional highlights include pieces featuring current big league stars Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Miguel Cabrera, Yu Darvish, Buster Posey and David Ortiz.
Each RareInk piece of art is produced using fine art, archival materials and is offered in three executions: fine art paper prints ($79-$129); stretched canvases ($129-$349); and metal prints on brushed aluminum ($399-$419). Every piece is a hand-numbered, limited-edition, with edition sizes ranging from 50 to 250. The artwork is available for sale exclusively at RareInk.com. For more information, call (800) 365-1890.
