Bulger Gallery Press is pleased to present, World\u2019s Greatest, a publication that features 60 photographs by Pete Doherty and essays by Stephen Brunt, Jim Christy and Larry Fink.<\/p>\n

Doherty is a self-taught photographer and graduate of the Ontario College of Art, who, for many years, left behind the world of art to become a boxer. After retiring from his amateur career, Doherty returned to the ring with his camera in hand. His photographs primarily document the boxing world in Ontario and New York State, but are representative of professional and amateur boxing throughout North America. The images not only focus on the sport of boxing, but also on the people and personalities that populate that world. His photographs document the emotions and physical challenges of training, fighting, and the win or loss. They also address the politics that make up both amateur and professional fighting.<\/p>\n

A selection of the photographs from World\u2019s Greatest will be exhibited in Gallery Two at the Stephen Bulger Gallery, May 30 – June 15, 2013<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
