About the Item

Edition of 500 Hand-signed by artist, Signed and numbered in pencil Muhammad Ali, the groundbreaking athlete and sociopolitical figure of the twentieth century, is remembered less for his art than for his professional boxing career and activism during the 1960s. However, the son of a church muralist, Ali also showed artistic promise from a young age—in high school, he is said to have had failing grades in all subjects except art and gym. In 1979, Ali produced a set of five prints, “Let My People Go,” commissioned by the World Federation of United Nations Associations in editions of 500. The works are compelling historical artifacts, drawing upon Ali’s time in the ring, his Muslim faith, his relationship with fame, and his work in the Civil Rights movement. From a set of five prints that Muhammad Ali published in 1979, including Let My People Go, which was commissioned by the World Federation of United Nations Associations. At the time those pieces were created, RoGallery was approached by Ali’s manager, Jabir Herbert Muhammad, about selling the works, which were produced in editions of 500. Gallery owner Robert Rogal has been selling the prints, which he described to artnet News as Ali’s “personality, his life, in visual form,” ever since.
