THE GREATEST: Mohammad Ali
Classic Photographs of Mohammad Ali by Harry Benson, Thomas Hoepker, Steve Schapiro and William Klein
A new exhibition at Atlas Gallery will bring together the work of four photographers to celebrate the photographic legacy surrounding Muhammad Ali (1942 – 2016). The photographs on display range from those highlighting Ali’s athleticism, charisma and vulnerability to collages by William Klein, which show the beginnings of his evolution into a politicised cultural icon.
