We are excited to announce this very special work of art is now available to the public!
These portraits of President Obama and boxing legend Muhammad Ali were commissioned by the Louisville, Ky.-based Ali Center, and given to President Obama as a gift during the inaugural festivities in Washington D.C. at the Bluegrass Ball on Jan. 19.
Logistical plans for the paintings are under way. It is not yet determined whether the portraits will hang in the White House, or elsewhere in the presidential collection.
"When I was painting 'Looking to the Future,' I was feeling the weight of their collective hopes and dreams, their struggles and aspirations, their hopes for the future," said Bull.
Unique work hand signed by Simon Bull and Muhammad Ali, it bears the official OnLine Authentics security reference information that guarantees the authenticity of every Muhammad Ali signature.
