The NBA on CBS is the branding that is used for weekly broadcasts of National Basketball Association games produced by CBS Sports, the sports division of the CBS television network in the United States.

ITEM FOR SALE IN THIS LISTING: one photo; CBS network; original to the era/date listed in the title....this is called a bumper or bump card and is much rarer than normal press photos because bumpers were mostly only sent to TV stations The work is believed to be created by listed artist Vahe Kirishjian (1913-1988) Vahe Levon Kirishjian was born in 1913 in Cairo, Egypt. His parents were Armenian refugees, who immigrated to New York City in 1922, when he was nine years old. His father, Avedis Kirchdijian, changed the familys name to Kirishjian and was himself an artist who specialized in photoengraving. Vahe graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School in 1932 and then attended The Cooper Union Art School at night while working for the Advertising Department of the Daily News. For four years, he studied mural painting, fine arts, life painting, and commercial design. Shortly after his graduation from Cooper Union, he was awarded a prestigious mural commission in Washington, D.C., for the Post Office Department building, which is now the William Jefferson Clinton Federal building. In 1940, at the age of 27, he completed the eight-panel mural series, titled The Four Seasons and Signs of the Zodiac, on the ceiling of the buildings library. Kirishjian drew maps for the Army Map Service during World War II and, by the 1950s, he was hired as a television art director in the Graphics Arts Department at the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), where he worked for 30 years. He designed graphics, illustrations, charts, maps, and promotional materials for CBS-TV, working on such programs as The Honeymooners, The Ed Sullivan Show, Captain Kangaroo, Playhouse 90 and CBS sports. As a freelance cartographic artist, he also drew maps for Fortune Magazine, Readers Digest, and several airlines, such as American Airlines, TWA, and Northwest Orient Airlines. In 1973, Kirishjian completed two large paintings depicting Saints Sahag and Mesrob, the founders of the Armenian alphabet, for Saint Vartan Armenian Cathedral in New York City. If was purchased from the estate of famed NYC Photographer Bob Newey. Measures approximately 18" wide x 15" tall overall including colored matte board. Handmade multi-layer construction. I have a few other CBS TV graphics from the same artist. excellent vintage condition, see photos. Displays beautifully and would look great in a frame
