A large glass master for the hologram of legendary basketball star Michael Jordan that appeared on the cover of the December 23, 1991, issue of Sports Illustrated magazine, when the magazine named Jordan its 1991 Sportsman of the Year. Capturing Jordan's iconic status in an unconventional way, it is the first film/computer-generated holographic image in the world. After Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to the first of what would be three consecutive National Basketball Association championships, Sports Illustrated honored Jordan with its Sportsman of the Year award. A production team filmed with Jordan, created the hologram from images shot that day, and sought his approval for the hologram to be used as the glass master. The holographic labels for application to the Sports Illustrated covers were produced from the glass master. This "large" master turned out to be too large for the label production, and a smaller glass master was produced to create the labels. Framed. 13 3/8 inches by 13 1/4 inches, overall Categories: Michael Jordan
