Muhammad Ali Exhibit- "I Am King of the World"

LeRoy Neiman saw Muhammad Ali through the stroke of his pencil and the swipe of his paint brush, while another artist and friend of Ali’s, George Kalinsky, captured many of the same explosive moments in Ali’s career through the crispness of photography. On display simultaneously at New-York Historical, see Ali through the eyes of two artistic greats. Visit “I Am King of the World”: Photographs of Muhammad Ali by George Kalinsky. Who could “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee”? Muhammad Ali was The Greatest—he even said so himself. Born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, he was a three-time heavyweight champion and an outspoken, popular, and often controversial public figure.
