In celebration of the life and career of three-time Stanley Cup champion, Hall of Fame inductee and five-time NHL All -Star Marián Hossa.
World renowned photographer David Yarrow has created a series of photographs of Marián Hossa with his three-time Stanley Cup teammates, NHL “Hall of Fame” legends and current Blackhawk stars – three generations of champions in this homage to greatness-of heroes and a city that is beloved throughout the world.
Artist Statement:
Tomorrow evening, at the United Center in Chicago, legendary Slovakian hockey player – Marián Hossa – will have his shirt retired in front of 24,000 adoring and thankful Blackhawks fans.
Less than 48 hours ago, Marián was joined by two other Chicago “Hall of Famers”, Chris Chelios and Denis Savard and nine other Blackhawks stars to collaborate with me on an idea that had been marinating in my mind for some time.
My concept was to merge in unity, two of Chicago’s most precious possessions, its architecture and its beloved Blackhawks. This is a proud city and ‘Chicagoites’ hold these assets close to their hearts.
My creative leaning was to play around with the idea of a Last Supper, after all, Chicago is also renowned for its food and a play on the masterpiece legitimized a reason for the player positions. I also wanted to build a sense of the cold into the narrative but this didn’t need much effort as it was freezing on the river on Thursday night.
I had never previously met any of these sportsmen but was most impressed by their charm and enthusiasm for the project which will raise funds for disadvantaged former players. I know some of these guys are very famous but they wear their fame with the lightest of touch. The photograph will be unveiled tomorrow in Chicago and will be available for purchase through our excellent gallery representative in the city, Hilton | Asmus Contemporary.
