Description
1978 Muhammad Ali vs. Leon Spinks II ""Super Fight" On-Site Poster by Stephen Grey. Legions of local artists swarmed Bourbon Street and created there own versions of onsite posters to promote the fights, which were posted at the Superdome, all over the city and were also sold by local venders. Just like traditional on-site posters posted at arenas, these rare and unique works of art served same purpose--to get people to go to the fight. This was the only time in boxing history that so many different on-site posters were created to promote a bout.Features delightful illustrations of both fighters, the Superdome and the date of the bout. Interesting that the artist chose to go with "Super Fight" as his heading as opposed to the more common "Battle of New Orleans." It is the first such exemplar which we have ever offered. On heavy stock paper and framed to 25.75x19.75" (23..5x17.75" visible in frame) it presents without distraction. Note: The wood frame has a few nicks. Letter of provenance from Troy Kinunen.
