About the Item

Vik Muniz, New York, NY, 1987 by Fernando Natalici Within this exquisite portrait of a young Vik Muniz, Natalici cuts, then reconstructs the original film negative to allow one side of the artist's face to mirror the other. The result of which leaves us with a stunning voyage into the artist's identity. Archival Inkjet Print on 310GSM Cannon Paper. 13 x 19 inches. Printed 2016. Hand signed by Natalici on the verso from an edition of 4 Excellent condition Acquired directly from the artist More on this work The work was originally shot in black and white then enlarged via a Kodalith process and made through a dotted screen process. The negatives were then cut exactly in half, using as a reference the tip of the nose and the center of the eyes. After that, he took the one half left of the cut negative and flipped it so it became a right side of a face made from the same very left. Natalici best sums up the final rendering as a result that was, "truly astonishing, a face that looked so perfect with all facial details such as, birth marks, freckles, facial hair, scars, etc., that it acquired an extraterrestrial-type clone look." More on Fernando Natalici New York based photographer Fernando Natalici is best known for his iconographic documentation of the downtown Manhattan art scene of the mid/late 70's and early 80's. Natalici’s portfolio includes sought after images of a young Patti Smith, Blondie, Talking Heads, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, The Ramones and more. As an Art Director, Fernando has played a key role in creating memorable visuals for historic NY venues such as CBGB's, The Mudd Club, Area and Danceteria.

Fernando Natalici Al Goldstein New York 1979
By Fernando Natalici
Located in NEW YORK, NY
Al Goldstein by heralded New York underground photographer Fernando Natalici Silver Gelatin Print, c.1979. 11x14 inches. Hand signed & dated on the verso from an edition of 2. Some minor residue or fading to edges and minor signs of handling; otherwise in very good condition for its age. Al Goldstein: If Hugh Hefner strove to put a sleek, air-brushed image on sexual freedom in the 1960s, rival publisher Al Goldstein was the polar opposite. Unabashedly abrasive and foul-mouthed, the cigar-chomping, a larger than life Goldstein called his explicit magazine Screw. When he co-founded Screw in 1968, the American legal system was embroiled in a battle over what constitutes obscenity. Goldstein never envisioned himself as a champion of free speech, but fought for what he said were his own prurient interests. The porn magazine's scathing, scatological editorials railed against religious leaders and the government for justifying war while imprisoning erotic magazine...
