Muhammad Ali in Chicago, Illinois. 1966. Thomas Hoepker

Limited Edition Signed

Jump to

Description

Thomas Hoepker first met Muhammad Ali in 1960 while on assignment and went on to photograph the world heavyweight champion a number of times. Pictured here, Ali showing off his left fist to the camera. “On my contact sheet from 1966 this picture looked hopelessly under-exposed, dark and dirty. But when I scanned the negative, I saw another aspect of the ‘Greatest’ – Ali, the dark and brutal fighter, but also Muhammad Ali, the wounded and scarred victim, who had received countless punches from his opponents during his career,” Hoepker said.
