This is a spectacular large-format book in both content and size.
"Blood, sweat, tears, and the struggling bodies of bikini-clad figures. This book collects the masterpieces of Theo Ehret, an unsung master of sports photography. From the mid-1960s to the early 1980s, Ehret documented the sports competitions held at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, and the subgenre of sports photography.
He also documented the matches held at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, and the erotic subgenre then known as "apartment wrestling." From weigh-ins and injuries to backstage brawls and the enthusiasm of the audience, Ehret's photographs capture all the action and atmosphere of the Grand Olympic Auditorium.
This arena is where heroes like André the Giant, Killer Kowalski, The Sheik, Gordman & Goliath, and Jesse "The Body" earned their fame with their fists." - From the book's commentary.
The editing by artists, including Mike Kelley, is also outstanding, and the essays are by philosopher Roland Barthes.
