KENNETH OLAUSSON (born 1948): "Ronnie Peterson starts in March at the Monza circuit in 1971", signed and numbered on the back, 3/10 ex, Hahnemühle 308 gram Photo Rag acid-free photo paper, dimensions 50 x 70 cm Kenneth Olausson about his career and 10 years with Ronnie Peterson: Just turned fifteen, I borrowed my father's box camera to photograph Formula 1 world champion Jim Clark at the Gellerås track. It was the debut. Then followed six years of wandering around the world to follow motorcycle races in Europe and the United States. In 1967 I took the picture of the year in the picture magazine "SE". In the fall of '68 I met Ronnie Peterson. The meeting became the beginning of a long friendship and resulted in me traveling to Monaco in 1969 when Ronnie broke through as WC promise. In a fraction of a second and 20,000 frames later, I had seen 48 Grands Prix with Ronnie. In 2019, I rented the Berwaldhallen for a performance in words and images about Ronnie Peterson.
