For Immediate Release: Baseball Hall of Fame acquires
Bill Murphy Lithograph
March 14, 2009
It was announced today that the Accessions Committee of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown has acquired the original lithograph “Night Game, the Bronx” by New York artist Bill Murphy for it’s permanent collection.
The print depicts a night game at Yankee Stadium during its’ last summer (2008). The committee saw the historic significance of an image paying homage to perhaps baseball’s most well known playing field.
The print, which was created at the Robert Blackburn Studio in New York City, is one of an edition of 100. Each print was pulled by hand from the stone. The image measures 24 inches by 13 inches. Each of the 100 prints is titled, signed and numbered by the artist.
“I never thought I’d be in the Hall before Pete Rose, that’s for sure” said Murphy upon notification of the acquisition. Murphy, whose work hangs in the British Museum, the Brooklyn Museum and New York Historical Society as well as a dozen other public institutions added: “ I can’t think of a better home for this print. I wish my father was still alive to see this – he was a great player and a great fan”.
