Description

"... the biggest, heaviest, most radiant thing ever printed in the history of civilization."
- Der Spiegel, Hamburg.


 


You are bidding on GOAT:  A Tribute to Muhammad Ali; a spectacular book created by TASCHEN.  This item also includes a personalized note from world renowned publisher, Benedikt Taschen. 


 


Muhammad Ali is one of the most remarkable personalities of our time and the greatest sportsman ever to walk the earth.  To honor this living legend, TASCHEN has created a work that is epic in scale and as unique and vibrant as the man himself.  A worthy tribute to his life should reflect the scale of his achievements, and GOAT - GREATEST OF ALL TIME is fully up to that task.



Four years in the making, and the most comprehensive study of Ali to date, GOAT tips the scales at 34 kgs (75 lbs) and is 50 cm x 50 cm (20" x 20") in size.  Nearly 800 pages of archival and original photographs, graphic artwork, articles and essays - many of them previously unpublished - chronicle six decades of his life in stunning detail. To cap it all, the project takes place with the participation of Ali himself and those members of his inner circle who have been closest to him over the years: from managers and key cornermen to friends, family and children; from spiritual and other advisers to broadcasters, essayists and journalists.

This is a Live Event Item.
