Lot 247. Original “Ring” 75th Anniversary Painting with Ali and Sugar Distinctive Caricatures. From Sugar’s collection, this colorful 18” x 24.25” gouache original represents a scene from “Ring” magazine’s 75th anniversary celebration in Atlantic City. Sugar edited the periodical from 1979-83. Prominently featured in the painting, a magazine “cover” refers to the Spinks-Cooney fight in 1987 and to Ali’s Hall of Fame induction in 1990. Ali is on the cover, and in the crowd at what apparently is a reception. Sugar is depicted with his omnipresent hat and cigar. Don King is among the figures captured by artist Borie Dornl. This one-of-a-kind artwork is rolled, ex-m and a serious attention-grabber!
Winning Bid $134.
