George Kalinsky (1936-2025): Walt 'Clyde' Frazier signed George Kalinsky, titled, and numbered 52/100 (lower margin) black and white photograph sight 18 3/8 x 12 3/8in; framed 30 x 22 1/2in Together with ten black and white photographs of Walt 'Clyde' Frazier from circa 1969-1975, including posing in front of his Rolls-Royce outside Madison Square Garden, 1975, posing with his Rolls Royce outside Gracie Mansion during a victory party hosted by Mayor John Lindsay, New York City, May 1970, each 8 x 10in (11) Footnotes: Walt Frazier was arguably one of the first professional athletes to achieve celebrity status beyond the arena. One day, he walked into George Kalinsky's office dressed in a green suit, matching hat, and green alligator boots; an outfit so striking that Kalinsky immediately asked to photograph him. Observing the scene, Knicks trainer, Danny Whelan, nicknamed him 'Clyde,' likening his look to the movie character from Bonnie and Clyde. Frazier embraced the idea of playing a character, and these images captured by Kalinsky perfectly convey his distinctive sense of style and charismatic persona.
