Previously unseen images from the fascinating private albums of Eva Braun have come to light.

They give us incredible retrospective access to Hitler’s little known companion and her extraordinary life.

Hitler and Braun were married on April 29, 1945, but within some 40 hours they were both dead.
Against the backdrop of the final days of the war in Europe and the crumbling Reich it was an extraordinary marriage.

Eva Braun was the longtime companion, and for a brief time wife, of Adolf Hitler.

He met her in Munich when she was 17 years old and working as an assistant and model for his personal photographer Heinrich Hoffmann.

Artist's unique tribute to Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali always said he was the prettiest thing that ever lived. He has a point. It does take a certain beauty to make 1,300 punching bags, five miles of stainless steel and two miles of aluminum tubing look like a work of art. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a talented sculptor rendering those materials.

California artist Michael Kalish will unveil his Ali art installation, "reALIze," later this month in Los Angeles. The project, which depicts the three-time heavyweight champ by using speed bags, stands two stories high, fills up 15,00 cubic feet and includes five miles of stainless steel, two miles of aluminum tubing and 1,300 of Ali's favorite practice targets. Kalish told the Los Angeles Times that it took three months to design the sculpture and five months to build it.

Ali's wife, Yolanda, approached Kalish three years ago after seeing his work with license plate art. He created a piece for the family which eventually led to this sculpture.

The final product will show for two weeks at Nokia Plaza in Los Angeles. From there, Kalish hopes to take it to other venues. Admission is free to the public, but visitors won't be able to interact with the piece due to its intricate design.

From most angles, the structure looks like a jumble of boxing bags and twisted metal.

It's only when viewed from the proper vantage point that the structure becomes a two-dimensional portrait of the former heavyweight champion.
The official unveiling of the exhibit is scheduled for March 25.
