Magnum Square Prints are printed on Fuji Crystal archive paper and come in an archival and protective sleeve. All prints are archival quality and are approved by the photographer. Magnum worked closely with photographers and estates to ensure that all editions were presented according to their intentions. Paper size: 6 x 6 in (15.24 x 15.24 cm) Image Size: 5.5 in (14 cm) on the longest side The print was issued in an un-numbered Limited Edition (limited to the number of prints purchased during the 7 days in which the sale was open to the public). It is sure to become a highly collectible photograph given the provenance linking it directly to the Magnum Photos collective and to the photographer. Text on the archival label attached to the back of the print: Muhammad Ali. London, England. 1966. “I’m sure there are hidden treasures in any analog archive one might never have the chance to discover. During my time as an active photo-reporter there was rarely a lot of time left between assignments to have a second or third look at the negatives that were not immediately published. So when the theme of this Square Print project, ‘Hidden,’ came up, I did some more digging. I grabbed some folders of old negatives and unexpectedly found another Muhammad Ali picture that I had totally overlooked ’til today, even though I have published a lot of Ali pictures, including two books. It’s amazing to see him show so many different facets of his personality on a single film strip.” — Thomas Hoepker The first photo is the image Magnum used during their sale, the second and third photos are of the actual print. I photographed the print through its protective sleeve which may have resulted in some glare. Please take a look at my other listings.
