About the Item

Bambini per la strada, New York décembre 1955 - Black and White Photography Artwork #1 / 5 sold in perfect condition printed on baryta heavyweight paper & framed (black metal border) From the collection called "Art 2014", format 30x42 cm. SERIES OF 5 PRINTS + 2 AP Artwork printed later on fine art papers later (2014) from black & white negatives processed in 1962 Once again Fabrizio La Torre has captured a perfect graphic balance between the Brooklyn Bridge, receding in the background, a few houses and the majestic chromework of the “American Beauty” which caught the artist’s eye, but what really interested him was the presence of the kids visible in the background, playing on the streets of the American metropolis, just like the children of Rome playing in the alleyways of Trastevere. Whether in Rome, Naples, Bangkok or New York, children have only one thing on their mind: playing with their pals. More often than not, this photographer was quick enough to capture these totally spontaneous moments. Artwork sold in perfect condition During the 15 year period in which Fabrizio La Torre dedicated himself to photography, he travelled in Italy, Europe, North America and Asia. From wherever he went he brought back photos which depict the human condition, universal in meaning, full of emotions, with which he empathised. In order to make it easier for collectors and enthusiasts to get to grips with these works, we have opted for grouping together a set of 5 photos taken in a specific place under the heading “First Impressions”. Here, First Impressions of New York where Fabrizio La Torre spent November and December 1955, during his 6 month trip to North America, which included Canada and California.

Work sold in perfect condition, print on baryta paper 310 grs pigment inks of museum quality, limited edition of 5 copies Lost in the vastness of the city, this little man sitting against a building, probably a little busy alcohol, seems indifferent to this landscape without horizon, made of stones and steel.
