Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction November 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/28/2023
Featuring the attractive artwork of noted hockey artist Tex Coulter, with his many magazine and program covers from the Original Six era especially prized, we offer an original painting of Montreal Canadiens HOFers Tom Johnson and Jacques Plante, with the unique work originating from Johnson's personal collection. Used to produce the Habs 1959-60 calendar, what appears to be water colour on board has been utilized, with the painting depicting the 1958-59 season, when Johnson won the James Norris Trophy and Plante won the Vezina Trophy. Each player is wonderfully depicted in both an action and cameo image, with the trophies actually on thin paper that have been glued to the work. Coulter has signed his usual "Tex", with the painting showing some minor surface wear including spotting over Johnson's cameo image and some wear along edges. An LOA from the Johnson family will accompany.
