Bob Fichter 1975

"Bob Fichter" is a 1975 black and white photograph by Mike Mandel. It is a portrait of a man, Bob Fichter, in a baseball pose. The photo is presented in the style of a baseball card, complete with a white border and the subject's name printed in large letters across the top. Mandel’s work often explores the relationship between photography and mass media, and this piece is a humorous commentary on the commercialization of sports.
