Muhammad Ali and LeRoy Neiman shared a long and iconic relationship, centered on a mutual admiration for their respective places at the top of their crafts. Undoubtedly, this 2001 work is Neiman's most impressive tribute to Ali.

Neiman's original painting was donated to the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville and the artist was quoted: “All of my experiences and observations of Ali are summed up in this portrait. This painting is for me the quintessential, colorful, confident Ali. It shows his fighting face, with that theatrical flair, that is so familiar to the world and epitomizes a career that extended to a public far beyond the boxing ring.”

As powerful and strong as Ali presence in the ring, this bold artwork is complemented by flawless pencil signatures of both Ali and Neiman.

Numbered 640/850.
