About the Item

Olympic Running - nude models running on a track field photographed by Guido Argentini. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. Olympic Running by Guido Argentini is a visually arresting photograph that blends elements of athleticism, surrealism, and sensuality. The image features three female athletes sprinting across a vivid blue running track set against the stark backdrop of a desert landscape. Their powerful, mid-stride poses capture a moment of dynamic energy and grace, suspended in time. What distinguishes this work is Argentini’s use of metallic body tape in place of traditional athletic clothing. Each woman is adorned with carefully placed strips of silver or blue tape, which highlight and sculpt the contours of the body while maintaining a sense of minimalism and aesthetic control. This choice blurs the line between fashion, performance, and body art, emphasizing the form and strength of the female physique. The environment is surreal—an empty, sunlit desert under a deep blue sky. The vivid contrast between the natural background and the synthetic blue track heightens the dreamlike quality of the scene. The lighting is crisp and controlled, almost studio-like, accentuating the sheen of the tape and the skin, giving the figures a near-statuesque appearance. Argentini’s composition is both bold and elegant, a celebration of feminine power, motion, and beauty. The image carries themes of freedom, discipline, and futurism, pushing the boundaries of sports photography into the realm of conceptual art. It invites the viewer to reflect on the aesthetics of movement and the human form in a context that feels both timeless and otherworldly. Guido Argentini is one of the most illustrious photographers in the world. He is a master of erotic photography, and his sculpturesque representations of the female form create unusual perspectives that constantly push the limits of artistic perception. The dynamism and aesthetic qualities of his golden series are quite exceptional. In this series Argentini photographs nude models painted silver, turning them into statues who heroically eternalise the female form.

Water Nude I, Los Angeles - Underwater reflection, Fine Art Photography, 2002
By Michel Comte
Located in Vienna, AT
Underwater Nude with reflection on the surface, photographed by Michel Comte in All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. A Nude Woman floating underwater. Her light skin stands out against the dark Water surrounding her. The reflection of her body on the water's surface appears like another person floating above her. Michel Comte is known for his rich, deep color palette, but Underwater photography is usually not a genre he works in, with this Series being the only example. This piece not only stands out with its ethereal beauty and peaceful atmosphere but also due to its uniqueness within the famous photographer's Oeuvre. The saturated colors of the broiling desert against the piercing blue of the clear sky or the cool palette of an intimate black-and-white portrait, Michel Comte can do it all. The Swiss star...
