Muhammad Ali 1977 Event at Design Within Reach

The event was a huge success! The space looked stunning adorned with the rare photos, and the wall of Ali's competitors told it's own story, a compelling one at that. Michael Brennan is a wonderful british lad and he was over the moon to see the photos displayed. They've never been printed so it was a surreal moment for him.

Press coverage could not have been better: From LA to Vegas (Robin Leach's column!), boxing blogs, to the Hamptons...it was well covered!


Joe Frazier by Michael Brennan...a beautiful portrait
If you weren't able to make it, the exhibit is at DWR until this Monday... 

It then moves to its home at Artworks in Pasadena. There is discussion of a launch party there so stay tuned for that!!  Either way these photos must be seen and will be there until January for Ali's birthday...and then, who knows. They are a highly desired collection!

You can see all the event photos HERE.
