Harley-Davidson Art Auction to Benefit ALS
Renowned artist offering up trio of timeless, autographed art posters.
Perhaps the only thing better than an actual Harley-Davidson motorcycle is some fine Harley-Davidson art. And when you combine a trio of works from one of today’s most renowned Harley artists with a great cause, it simply doesn’t get any better. That’s why licensed H-D painter David Uhl is auctioning off three autographed posters, with all proceeds going to benefit the Upstate ALS Clinic at Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse, New York.
Uhl, Harley-Davidson’s first licensed oil painter, is also an enthusiast himself, buying his first Harley back in 1988. He’s been working with the motorcycle maker since 1993, and created his first oil painting depicting the brand in 1998. H-D also commissioned Uhl to produce a series of paintings to celebrate the brand’s 110th anniversary in Rome. Notable collectors of his art include comedian Jay Leno and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.
Frederick “Cliff” Maus, a retired police officer and veteran, contacted Uhl with the idea of auctioning off the posters to benefit ALS research. Maus was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) back in 2015, and has spent the last couple of years working to raise money and awareness for ALS.
To bid on the posters, visit the ALS Fundraiser Facebook page and place a bid in the comment section of the poster you’re interested in. Bidding for all three began at $100. The auction was originally marked to end on March 28 but has been extended indefinitely. Donations can also be made directly to the ALS clinic by visiting upstatefoundation.org/pals.
