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.

Tomorrow, tomorrow!



We are so looking forward to tomorrow's event with Michael Brennan at Design Within Reach on Beverly. This week brought a lot of great developments and press coverage of these very  special photos of Muhammad Ali and his competitors. Local write ups in LA CONFIDENTIAL and LA TIMES were fantastic and well deserved...


It's been great working with Robert at Design Within Reach, the ladies of Evolutionary Media Group, and of course our new friends at Artworks gallery. 


In addition it's great to have the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center on board, and lastly, to honor Joe Frazier we have added a special image taken by Michael Brennan to the exhibit. It's these touching and charitable parts of events & the opportunity to pay tribute to icons that makes us love to do what we do.


We are expecting many special guests and it will be a really great evening. Photos will abound, so stay tuned.
