Peter Max and Jack Nicklaus – 1986 Masters Tribute
Peter Max and Jack Nicklaus – 1986 Masters Tribute
This lithograph brings together two iconic figures—legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus and acclaimed pop artist Peter Max. The image captures a defining moment on the 17th green at Augusta National during the 1986 Masters. Just as Nicklaus prepares to sink a critical putt, the scene freezes in time. That stroke would help secure one of the most memorable victories in golf history, as Nicklaus, at 46, defied the odds and claimed his sixth Masters title.
Peter Max’s bold, expressive style brings energy to the scene, while the composition reflects both tension and triumph. Each lithograph includes the genuine signatures of both Peter Max and Jack Nicklaus. A certificate issued by Golden Bear Golf verifies Nicklaus’ autograph, ensuring its authenticity and reinforcing the historic value of the piece.
To further enhance its presentation, the lithograph comes double-matted and professionally framed using museum-quality materials. This thoughtful design preserves the artwork while giving it a timeless, elegant appearance. The unframed dimensions measure 27 inches wide by 34 inches tall, making it a substantial and visually striking addition to any golf-themed display.
Importantly, this artwork belongs to a limited edition of just 200 prints, highlighting its rarity and collectible significance. However, beyond the numbers, the piece offers more than a nod to sports memorabilia. It blends art and athletic achievement, illustrating how a single moment on the course can echo across both creative and competitive worlds.
Whether displayed in a study, gallery wall, or media room, this lithograph celebrates excellence, history, and a fusion of artistic and athletic mastery. Viewers are reminded of Nicklaus’ grace under pressure and Peter Max’s ability to translate powerful moments into vibrant visual stories.
