Olympic Games/ Summer, 1968/ Mexico/ Fosbury/... Lot 142

Olympic Games/ Summer, 1968/ Mexico/ Fosbury/ High. Two original, perfectly sublime press photos of the immense and charismatic high jumper Dick Fosbury, who at the Mexico Games (our two documents revolutionized his specialty): a) on the bar, which he tames with a magician's glance (21.5x16.5); b) in civilian clothes, the exchange of glances with the little boy, is a piece of anthology. The giant left us last year, but he'll be around for a long time to come.
