1) The Photographer
This beautiful book at Manhattan Rare Book Company is perfect for the photographer in your life, who’ll be excited by these iconic photos from an iconic artist of an iconic fighter.
Writes Richard Corman: “These images shot in 1998 in NYC on the lower westside in many ways was the culmination of my career up to that point and still remains one of the highlights of a very fortunate career. I was awestruck when he agreed to fly to New York to pose for the cover of my first book… it still blows my mind and was so flattering. He was fighting Parkinson’s, but never let that disease stop his bold character…
I still get chills when I see his signature on these three photographs.”
Richard Corman’s Iconic Photographs of Muhammad Ali. The only set signed by Ali. Each of the three 11×14 inch silver prints is signed by Ali in silver marker on the front of the image; each image is also signed by Corman on the verso and marked “1 of 1”. The Ali signatures are particularly strong and bold. [ Manhattan Rare Book Company | Gallery #90 | 212.326.8907 | info@manhattanrarebooks.com
