FINK, LARRY
Description
The Boxing Portfolio, 1989 to1996, Blue Horizon, Philadelphia, PA, October 1992
Gelatin silver print, AP 1/5
20 x 16" SHEET
Juxtaposing athletic skill and the desire for victory against corruption and brutality, Larry Fink has documented the boxing ring from 1989-1996. Located in Philadelphia, many of Fink's images are taken at the Blue Horizon Arena purported to be the largest and best venue by Sports Illustrated and Ring Magazine. However, it closed its doors in 2010 due to financial hardships. In this image, Fink has captured a lone boxer wearing a robe with the words AWESOME. Written on reverse of print is the title, date, signature and AP.
