Phelps Photograph Reinstalled At Portrait Gallery

WASHINGTON (AP) ―

A large color photograph of Michael Phelps is being reinstalled at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington.

The photograph on view Wednesday shows the Olympic gold medalist underwater with bubbles streaming from his nose.

Phelps won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics. Combined with his six gold medals from the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, the swimmer from Baltimore now holds 14 gold medals and two bronze.

The Phelps photograph was taken by Ryan McGinley in 2004 for the cover of The New York Times Magazine. It was first shown at the museum when the gallery reopened in July 2006, following a renovation.

The photograph will remain on view at the Portrait Gallery through January.
