Marcelo Eli Sarmiento
(Illinois, b. 1989)
Heroes Get Remembered But Legends Never Die, 2016
Six baseballs in acrylic cases
Each case measures 3" x 3" x 3"

Each ball is painted and signed by the artist. Sarmiento's custom baseballs were featured and auctioned in a 2016 solo show hosted by Leslie Hindman in Chicago. The title refers to the film The Sandlot (1993).

Condition

In original condition (noting that the baseballs used by the artist appear to be game-used).
