Bring your wall alive with the official retirement portrait of The Great One! Adding to his lexicon of legendary hockey art, the great Canadian artist Ken Danby (1940-2007) created the iconic image of the final days of Wayne Gretzky's career. As Wayne waves farewell to the crowd after his last NHL game (April 18, 1999), Danby sets the scene not inside New York's Madison Square Garden, but outdoors that night, high above the arena. It's not just any generic starry-sky background - Danby here recreates the exact alignment of the stars, planets and moon on that very night, as they would have appeared high above Manhattan! The original hangs in the home of Wayne himself; here's your chance to join him in owning the beauty of this piece. Complete with white border that includes limited-edition hand-numbering (you will receive #2285/9999), a gold-embossed facsimile Wayne Gretzky signature, and a hand-signed autograph from the late artist Ken Danby himself, this is both a beauty for your wall, and a valuable and rare collector's item for years to come. As a bonus, you will also receive the companion 58-page book, "The Great Farewell", which includes words from Danby, Gretzky, and many hockey commentators; an essay on the Astrology and Numerology behind the print's design; and a rare glimpse inside Danby's studio as he reveals the 24-frame study that led to the final design.
