Definitely worth checking out if you are in the city!
“In 1977, Richard Weisman, an art collector and a friend of Warhol’s,
commissioned a series of paintings of ten great sports figures of the
era, now known as the “Athlete Series”. The group of athletes was
selected by Mr. Weisman, and included stars of a variety of sports:
Muhammad Ali (boxing), Pelé (soccer), Dorothy Hamill (figure skating),
Tom Seaver (baseball), Jack Nicklaus (golf), O.J. Simpson (football),
Chris Evert (tennis), Willie Shoemaker (horse racing), Rod Gilbert (ice
hockey, NY Rangers), and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (basketball).”
