Description
1980 Dr. Ferdie Pacheco ("The Fight Doctor") Limited Edition "Old Blue Eyes is Back" Frank Sinatra Framed Print - This rare piece is a limited edition, framed abstract Frank Sinatra print by Dr. Ferdie Pacheco. The piece is an abstract depiction of Frank Sinatra, with an untied bowtie, and with cigarette, drink, and microphone in hand. The print reads; "Old Blue Eyes is Back...again...and again...and again". The piece also has the artist's signature on the right hand side. The poster is dated 1980, and it is said that only 500 of these posters were printed. The artwork on this special piece was created by Dr. Ferdie Pacheco, who was most well known as being the fight doctor to legendary boxer Muhammad Ali. Dr. Ferdie Pacheco has been successful as both a pharmacist and as a medical doctor, with a practice in the poor section of Liberty City and Calle Ocho in Miami. He is known as "The Fight Doctor" in boxing, including working as a corner man for twelve world champions, including Muhammad Ali for seventeen years. He also served as a boxing commentator for NBC, Showtime and Univision, winning two Emmys. During this time he was also the Boxing Consultant for NBC for ten years and worked for boxing safety by demanding that ambulances be present at every fight and made the change of 4 ropes in the ring to prevent deaths, plus the idea of thumb less gloves to prevent eye-injury. As a painter, his imaginative use of color and design along with his aggressive use of vivid, slashing, colorful patterns exude a sense of strength and express the boldness of a man who has immersed himself fully in life. Pacheco has the rare ability to transfer these experiences onto canvas through intense color and brushstrokes. His skills earned him the Gold Medal and First Prize in Tonneins, France, and the First Prize for Best Colorist at Musee Du Luxembourg. The poster has been professionally framed, and is in excellent condition. The piece (including the frame) measures 24.5"L x 20.5"W.
