MUHAMMAD ALI

Warhol's most entertaining assignment was Muhammad Ali who was photographed in August 1977 at Fighter's Heaven, Ali's training camp in rural Pennsylvania. Ali found it remarquable that anyone would pay $25 000 for a picture unless it was «real fancy» , then launched into a series of Alilogues, capped off with a forty -minute lecture, delivered from notecards, about rape, prostitution, gravity, meteorites, Israel, Egypt, South Africa, angel-food cake, Muslim morality, Jesus, boxing, the Koran and Elvis.....Warhol later commented he had no idea what Ali had been talking about
