Trunks From Muhammad Ali’s Final Fight, “Drama In Bahama,” To Be Auctioned Feb.

14 Fight Took Place In 1981

A unique souvenir of Muhammad Ali’s final boxing match will be offered on Tuesday, Feb. 14, at Chiswick Auctions’ Autographs and Memorabilia sale in London, England.

The MacGregor boxing trunks were worn by Ali during the “Drama in Bahama,” a Dec. 11, 1981, match at the Queen Elizabeth Sports Centre in Nassau that pitted the legendary American athlete against Jamaican Trevor Berbick. Age was not on the once-invincible Ali’s side. He was 39 years old, overweight at 236 lbs, and already suffering brain damage from having absorbed too many blows. In contrast, Berbick was 27 and would go on to win a WBC Heavyweight title.

Despite concerns about his fitness prior to the fight, Ali tried putting some

Brandywine

Continued from page 1 inaugural Wyeth Foundation

Curator and Director of the Andrew and Betsy Wyeth Study Center. “‘Home Places’ makes use of the astonishing holdings of the Andrew and Betsy Wyeth Collection to get beyond the received wisdom about this iconic artistic life,” said Coleman “The rarely or never before seen works on view collectively show an artist of rigorous focus on a highly individual creative path: thinking with buildings and drawing out the stories that houses can tell through an iterative process.”

In his new role at the Brandywine, Coleman is responsible for stewarding the Andrew and Betsy Wyeth Collection, which is housed in the Wyeth Study Center’s two facilities: one located at the Brandywine in Chadds Ford, and the other on the Farnsworth Art Museum’s campus in Rockland, Maine, the two geographic regions where Wyeth lived and painted. Part of a new partnership between the Wyeth Foundation for American Art and Brandywine, Coleman was brought on board to oversee the study of this remarkable collection and to lead scholarship on one of America’s most iconic artists. Just one of the exciting activities under this partnership will be the completion of the artist’s catalogue raisonné–a multi-year project.

About the Brandywine Museum of Art combinations together in the early rounds and even landed a few solid jabs, but by the sixth round he appeared tired and started getting hit. The 10-round contest, which failed to sell out, went the distance, with Berbick winning by a unanimous points decision. After the fight, Ali retired, his illustrious career ending with an overall record of 56-5.

The Brandywine Museum of Art features an outstanding collection of American art housed in a 19th-century mill building with a dramatic steel and glass addition overlooking the banks of the Brandywine River. The museum is located on Route 1 in Chadds Ford, Pa. Admission is $18 for adults, $15 for seniors ages 65 and over, $6 for students and children ages 6 and up; free of charge for children 5 and younger and Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art members. Current hours of operation can be found at www.brandy wine.org/hours. For more information, call 610-388-2700.

The “Drama in Bahama” match was the only time Ali ever wore MacGregor trunks rather than examples made by Everlast. The MacGregors were presented by Ali’s trainer Angelo Dundee to his close friend Hartmut Scherzer, a German sports reporter who visited the dressing room after the Nassau fight.

The trunks are white satin with black trim and have an elasticized waistband and a MacGregor manufacturer’s label on the front. They are expected to sell for £15,000£20,000 (approximately U.S. $18,510-$24,670).

Sotheby’s sold a very rare Moravian glazed red earthenware fish flask, attributed to Rudolph Christ, Salem, N.C., ca. 1801-25, on Jan. 19 for $138,600 (est. 12,000-$18,000). At nearly 10 inches in length, it was the largest version of these molded fish bottles/flasks most often attributed to Salem, N.C. There are three known sizes. The mottled green copper and brown manganese glazes over a yellow clay ground molded with finely detailed scales, fins, and slanted eyes and its overal condition were other factors in the price realized.
