Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Riger's latest book prefers the personal to the historical. Aside from pictures of Seattle Slew crossing the finish line of the 1977 Kentucky Derby and the 1986 New York Mets exulting after stealing the series from the Boston Red Sox, Riger's black-and-white photographs focus on smaller moments. One memorable shot entitled "Pain" features Mickey Mantle grimacing after a failed swing in the 1961 World Series. Grim determination is evident on the face of young Cassius Clay, the newly crowned heavyweight champion, as he pauses in a 1965 training session. The consummate grace of Celtic great Bill Russell comes through as he extends his body shooting a lay-up in 1964. Featuring an introduction by David Halberstam and an afterword by the photographer, sports fans are sure to enjoy these photographs. Recommended for all sports collections.

Review

"Robert Riger's photographs show the nobility of the completed gesture, not merely a split fraction of movement, stopped dead. This was something we believed possible only in the hands of geniuses of draughtsmanship like Gericault and Degas."

-- Hugh Edwards

Former curator of photography

Art Institute of Chicago
