BOB ZIERING (1933- )
Roberto Clemente. Illustration for the 1993 "Manpower Executive Calendar," commissioned by ManpowerGroup. Pastel, colored pencil and collage on Rives BFK paper. 320x400 mm; 13x15 3/4 inches, on 22 1/4x30-inch sheet. Signed "Ziering" and dated [19]92 in lower right image; titled "Roberto Clemente" in artist's hand in lower left margin.

ManpowerGroup's annual calendar was reserved for executives working within the company.

Ziering received his first serious commission from Reader's Digest. His subsequent illustration work for Fortune 500 companies and cultural institutions, such as The Metropolitan Opera and Cirque du Soleil, has earned him several ANDY awards, the highest honor awarded to commercial illustrators. After working as an illustrator for more than forty years, Ziering now devotes his time to expressing his personal artistic vision in his New York City studio.
