3D printed sculpture from the Negro Leagues Baseball Series, hand signed by the artist. A work of contemporary academic realism in portraiture, painted with an acrylic metallic finish over earth tone and color finishes. This portrait was originally sculpted in wax from life during sessions at the subject's home in Rocky Mount, NC by Daniel Edwards. Buck Leonard played in Negro Leagues Baseball and was elected to the MLB Hall of Fame in 1972. The wax portrait was scanned by the process of photogrammetry in preparation for 3D printing, utilizing traditional methods with current technological trends in sculpture. This work was exhibited at Buck Leonard's funeral wake by his family. It was also exhibited at Bank One Tower in Indianapolis, Elmhurst College, The Birmingham Civil Rights Museum, The National Art Museum of Sport, and The Harrisburg Art Association in Harrisburg, PA.
