The boxing art collection “Wegerich Fine Art Collection” is exhibiting its works at the “Discovery Art Fair” in Frankfurt. BOXSPORT is giving away 5 exclusive VIP tickets for the international art fair.
The Wegerich Fine Art Collection, which is considered the world’s most important art collection on the subject of boxing, will be presenting selected works at an international art fair for the first time from November 6 to 9, 2025: the Discovery Art Fair Frankfurt.
From the 1930s to the present day
The collection comprises over 100 original works of art from the 1930s to the present day. Brought together by Frankfurt lawyer Ingo Wegerich, it combines artistic excellence with cultural and historical significance. Each work is an original and shows legendary fighters and unforgettable fights – from Joe Louis and Max Schmeling to Muhammad Ali and the world champions of today.
Many works were commissioned as official artworks for major international fights or adorned the covers of major magazines. Following initial exhibitions, including last year at the German Sport & Olympia Museum in Cologne, the collection is now being presented to an international art audience for the first time at an art fair.
“I am delighted to be able to present works from our collection to an international art audience for the first time at the Discovery Art Fair,” says Ingo Wegerich. “The pictures are not only artistically impressive, but also bear witness to sporting and contemporary history – in some cases even world history.” The works of art on display are not for sale. “These pictures cannot be measured in money,” emphasizes Wegerich.
Highlights of the exhibition
On display is an original painting by Max Schmeling from 1936, which graced the cover of the American “Ring Magazine” after his victory over Joe Louis. Also on display is a work by Muhammad Ali from 1967, which deals with his conscientious objection to military service and also appeared on the cover of Ring Magazine.
Another highlight is the original painting commissioned by the organizers for the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor fight (2017) – one of the most successful pay-per-view events in history with over 600 million US dollars in revenue in the United States alone. The work was created by Richard T. Slone, official artist of the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
