About the Item

Artwork sold in perfect condition, print on baryta paper 310 grs pigment inks of museum quality, limited edition of 5 copies New-York, January 1956. "United States" Docked at the wharf reserved for its company, the liner United States loads and unloads its passengers who use this means of transport to cross the Atlantic or reach South America. Born not yet knowing the competition of the plane, the liners, (United States, Queen Elizabeth, France), showcases prestigious in their country, fight to seduce a wealthy clientele. 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 between November and December 1955, during his 6 month trip to North America, which included Canada and California.
