Fred McDarrah Photo of Muhammad Ali 16, 1967
Est: $200 - $400
Muhammad Ali In Training by Fred W. McDarrah (1926-2007 American) American heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali leans against the ropes of a boxing ring during training, March 16, 1967. He wears a robe, while a trainer (foreground) wears a t-shirt, the back of which features an Ali quote 'Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.' In terms of Ali's Timeline. He had won Gold in Rome, beaten Sonny Liston to become World Heavy Weight Champion 3 years Prior. Within the next 3 months he would Refuse the Military Draft (April 1967), Rally with Martin Luther King Jr (May 6 1967) and attend the Cleveland Summit (June 1967) with the top Black Athletes at the time. It is fair to say this image captures him at one of the key points in American History. Fred W. McDarrah was an American photographer best known for his extensive documentation of the 1960s counterculture in San Francisco. He was also a prominent figure in the Dada and Surrealist movements and gained recognition for his imaginative use of light, color, and composition in his photography. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums globally, capturing the spirit, energy, and creativity of his subjects. He fell in love with New York based on its center for creativity and freedom far before it became the commerce capital it is known for today. Overall Size: 22 1/8 x 18 1/8 in.
