Muhammad Ali (1942-2016): Guiding Light (A Group of Two Works) one signed By / Muhammad (to center) both felt tip marker on paper 19 1/2 x 24 7/8in (irregular) and 22 x 25in (respectively) Footnotes: Muhammad Ali's work as an artist is a lesser-known aspect of his remarkable life. His creativity was nurtured early on by his father, Cassius Clay Sr., a sign painter and muralist. Later in his career, Ali formed a friendship with LeRoy Neiman, whose work proved influential and inspiring. Ali's artistic pursuits led to notable recognition, including a commission from the World Federation of United Nations Associations in 1979 and an exhibition at the Roseland Grand Ballroom that same year. These two drawings highlight a recurring motif in Ali's art: a lighthouse guiding a ship, symbolizing direction, resilience, and hope. Condition reports are not provided in catalog descriptions.
