trunks and red boxing gloves, was stolen from an exhibit while it was open to
the public at the Muhammad Ali Center. Surveillance cameras recorded the brazen
theft, and a manhunt was under way for a suspect.The signed print of a painting
by LeRoy Neiman, valued at $5,000, was taken around 1 p.m. EDT Saturday,
Louisville police spokesman Dwight Mitchell said Tuesday. He said investigators
were trying to locate a person of strong interest.The signed artwork was
displayed in the Ali Centers LeRoy Neiman Gallery when it was taken. The center
in Alis hometown of Louisville showcases his career as a three-time heavyweight
boxing champion and the humanitarian causes he fought for throughout his adult
life.The center promotes six core principles Ali espoused -- confidence,
conviction, dedication, giving, respect and spirituality.Ali died in June at age
74 after a long battle with Parkinsons disease.Ali Center spokeswoman Jeanie
Kahnke said it was the first time an exhibit piece had been stolen from the
downtown center.Additional security measures are already in place to prevent
like incidents from occurring, she said.Neiman, who died in 2012, was best known
for his brilliantly colored images of sporting events and leisure activities.
His subjects included a long roster of famous athletes.Neiman met Ali in 1962 in
the dressing room at a New York City arena before a bout, according to the
artists website, and sketched the young heavyweight sitting on the rubbing
table.This was the beginning of a long relationship between the artist and the
prize fighter, the website said. The artist frequently sketched and painted the
athlete in training and at his major bouts around the world, constantly
sketching, drawing and painting. Ali often took up the brush himself, and did a
number of prediction drawings for Neiman before big fights.
