Ormond Gigli Girls in the Window, 1960 (printed later) Color coupler print 37 x 37 inches edition of 45 Signed, numbered and dated by the artist unframed Ormond Gigli: The Visionary Behind the "Girls in the Windows" Ormond Gigli is a highly regarded American photojournalist, best known for his breathtaking portraiture and surreal fashion photography.
