Fabrizio La Torre’s 100th Anniversary Celebration (1921-2021) Set # 6 - Bangkok
Limited edition of 100 Coffrets for each themes, all artworks printed on fine art papers later (2020-2021) from black & white negatives processed in 1956
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Italian photographer Fabrizio La Torre, Brussels Art Edition has chosen to publish 12 thematic “Celebration Boxes”, each of 6 photos, and each box published in only 100 copies at an exceptional price.
The chosen themes are: Rome, the Vatican, New York, Canada, Bangkok, Thailand, Hong Kong, women, children, transport, commerce and traders, and maritime navigation. Made between 1955 and 1966, these photos were digitized during the artist's lifetime and the technical parameters (framing, contrast, light, etc.) were approved by him. These are high quality fine art prints in A4 format (21 x 29.7 cm), on Baryté 310 gr Fine Art paper with museum quality pigment inks. Each box contains a numbered certificate of origin.
The very attractive price makes these boxes the ideal gift to offer to all lovers of vintage photos, but also an original set to decorate a room or an office, or only to indulge yourself and feed your collection. The production of these sets will be spread over four months until May 2021, (three themes per month) and they will be sold while stocks last. No reprints will be made.
All these photos are dated 1956-61, because the photographer had his films developed in his usual laboratory in Rome when he returned there on vacation.
The exact date of the shots is therefore unknown.
- "I nuovi elefanti". Through the streets of Bangkok, trams, often built by a Belgian company, carried their heavy carcasses at a pace barely faster than a walking elephant.
- "Nebbia mattutina". The morning mist slowly dissipates around the Temple of the Golden Mountain...
