Description
It is my honor to put up for auction this great book. It has been opened just 2 times the first was when it was delivered from the Ali Center and now for these photos for this auction. Both times they were with gloved hands, the gloves provided by the publisher Taschen.This Auction is for a very rare edition of only 1000 for the champions edition. This book is the rare edition that is covered with white silk and the has the pink letters the color of Ali's first Caddy. The number of this book is 556.The "Champ's Edition", limited to the first 1,000 copies, has a white silk cover with pink lettering. Numbers 1001-10,000 are the collectors edition. This "Champ's Edition" comes with the sculpture "Radial Champs" by Jeff Koons (size 175 x 170 cm, 69" x 67", comprising of 2 inflatables and a stool). Not the photo of the sculpture like the collectors edition. This has an actual Jeff Koons sculpture....... The sculpture has never been put together and is in factory mint condition.This auction does not include the four gallery-quality silver gelatin prints signed by photographer Howard L. Bingham and Muhammad Ali. These prints can be bought along with the book for an additional $4000 for all 4 if the winner would like them.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 Nearly 800 pages of archival and original photographs, graphic artwork, articles and essays - many of them previously unpublished - chronicle six decades of his life in stunning detail.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.Again this auction does not include the four gallery-quality silver gelatin prints signed by photographer Howard L. Bingham and Muhammad Ali. These prints can be bought along with the book for an additional $4000 for all 4 if the winner would like them.
