Attractive set of four limited edition color serigraphs of artwork by boxing great Muhammad Ali, who has prominently signed each in the lower corner in pencil. The serigraphs, each approximately 26 x 22, are entitled ‘Float Like a Butterfly and Sting Like a Bee’ (135/500), ‘Guiding Light’ (129/500), ‘Mosque II’ (118/500), and ‘Under the Sun’ (135/500). The reverse of each bears a “1979 Herbert Muhammad Enterprises” copyright stamp. In overall very fine condition.
In 1979, towards the end of Ali's professional boxing career, he produced a handful of silk screens depicting or interpreting a few of his various interests: boxing, social justice, and Islam, to name a few. Ali's business manager, Jabir Herbert Muhammad, approached New York City's Ro Gallery to exclusively sell these signed limited edition prints.
