Rare opportunity to own a complete match numbered series of hand signed Muhammad Ali "The Greatest" hand embellished canvases by Pop Artist Steve Kaufman. This four image series, number T.P. 20/25, was created in 1995 and is part of a total worldwide edition that contained 99 regular edition, 25 Test Proof and 1 Original of each of the four images. Each Canvas measures 46 x 41 inches with beautiful, large, period Ali signatures executed in bold gold paint pen. Kaufman's similar style to that of iconic pop artist Andy Warhol was developed while he was an assistant in Warhol's famed "Factory" in the late 1970's and early 1980's and is evidenced in these four canvases. Kaufman passed away at the age of 49 in 2010 and left behind a body of work which is highly prized by collectors worldwide. With over 20 years having passed since this series was created, and with a gallery list price of $11,500 for individual canvases in the series, this offering of all four images in the series, limited edition 32/99, is a unique opportunity for both the art enthusiast and the Ali collector.
