PIERRE ET GILLES (France, collaborating since 1976). "Le petit Rimbaud", 2005. Photograph. Signed. Unique work. Measurements: 126 x 100 cm. The French artist duo Pierre et Gilles, make provocative photographs in which they construct their own scenarios and costumes by hand, often retouching the prints with paint. Gay culture and pornography are the genres in which they explore with a liberated and sardonic spirit. On this occasion, in this oval-format photograph, the cursed poet Arthur Rimbaud is reborn, reincarnated as a young man whose angelic face with a celestial gaze contrasts with his vulgar exhibitionism. The clash between the elevated poetry and the scandalous behavior that Rimbaud had in life is reread in a camp key. Pierre et Gilles are two French artists, a sentimental and artistic couple. They make unique and highly stylized photographs. Their work includes images from art history, popular culture, religion and gay culture including pornography (especially James Bidgood). The way these two artists work includes setting up complex scenographies, as they hardly work with digital post-production after the shots. Part of their way of working includes elaborate lighting and scenic works, portraying the models surrounded by floral mandorlas that often refer to religious works of the past or in idyllic and imaginary scenarios. Later, they work the photographs with acrylic paint to retouch the images and give them an original finish. Among his favorite themes are religious and mythological themes, as well as homoerotic scenes (some examples refer to the ocean and sailors, having developed a book on this subject called "Sailors and Sea"). Undoubtedly, his works can be included within the kitsch movement expressed in a conscious way, being also influenced by the world of pop culture. The celebrities photographed by Pierre et Gilles include: Amanda Lear (the cover of her 1980 album, Diamonds for Breakfast, one of his first commissions), Lio, Khaled, Étienne Daho, Marie France, Mikado, Marc Almond, Leslie Winer, Marilyn Manson, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Erasure, Deee-Lite, The Creatures, Nina Hagen and Coco Rosie (the cover of her 2007 album, The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn); model Naomi Campbell, actresses Tilda Swinton and Catherine Deneuve, actors Jérémie Renier and Layke Anderson as well as designers Jean-Paul Gaultier and Paloma Picasso. His work is part of the collections of the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

FRANCESCA WOODMAN (Denver, Colorado, 1958-New York, 1981) "Self portrait", N3017.1. New York, 1979-80. Gelatin silver print. Later printed by Igor Bakht, stamp on verso. Signed by George and Betty Woodman, annotated "I B" "N3017.1" in pencil. PE/FW credit stamp on verso. Provenance: Foster Glasgow private collection. Measurements: 13.7 x 13.7 cm (image); 26 x 21 cm (paper). This photograph, in which Francesca Woodman is shown foreshortened and quartered, belongs to the last stage of the artist's short life. At the time, she was living in New York. Woodman had spent the summer of 1979 in Stanwood, Washington to visit her partner, Benjamin Moore. It was there that she created a photographic series on domestic subjects. When she returned to New York, she tried to make her work known and managed to have exhibitions at the Daniel Wolf Gallery. In the advertising and fashion industry she discovered the work of Deborah Turbeville, who was characterized by placing models in gothic-melodramatic settings, such as in desolate or dark buildings or corridors. Woodman imbibed this style, which she then reflected in her future photographs. In the summer of 1980 he experimented with his own body in order to deal with themes of something higher, according to the letter he wrote to his friend Suzanne Santoro, who lived in Rome. At this time, his artistic creation became more meticulous and he elaborated more methodically the composition, starting from previously created sketches, to work out the narrative of his images. Although she put a lot of effort into her artistic work, she was never convinced of it. What really drove her to suicide was a mediocre public response to her photography and a broken romance. Her father suggested that the reason for the suicide was a failed application for funding from the National Endowment for the Arts. She was too far ahead of her time. All this caused Francesca Woodman to fall into a depression and finally, a few days after launching her book, on January 19, 1981, she decided to take her own life at the age of only 22, jumping out of a loft window on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York. Francesca Woodman was an American photographer known for her intimate black and white self-portraits. She graduated from Rhode Island School of Design, the University of Fine Arts in Providence. Her photography is characterized primarily by the use of a single model, usually nude. It was usually her, but in various photographs she portrayed several of her friends. The body captured by the camera was usually in motion, due to long exposure times, or the image was not sharp. He also used other techniques, such as masking himself or trying to blend in with the objects or the environment itself. She was born into a family of artists. From an early age, together with her brother Charles Woodman, she was introduced to the art world by her parents, George Woodman and Betty Woodman, who were both visual artists. Today, they manage an archive of more than 800 images of their daughter, 120 of which have been exhibited or published. She belongs to the generation of avant-garde women of the 1970s who claimed their contribution and vision of the world, which also includes activist artists such as Cindy Sherman, Martha Rosler or Ana Mendieta.

The latter, combined with great reliability, enabled "Stutz" cars to shine in major competitions such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Indianapolis 500 and the Pikes Peap International Hill Climb. Production ceased in 1935, a victim of the Great Depression, In 1968, a New York financier, James O'Donnel, resurrected the brand by creating the company "Stutz Motor Car of America Inc." and entrusted the design of a first car to Virgil Exner, a former designer who had worked for Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler. The prototype was presented in January 1970 at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Manhattan, and made a strong impression. Produced from 1971 to 1987 in just 617 examples, the Stutz Blackhawk was, in 1973, the most expensive car in the world, with a price tag of $43,000. By comparison, the Cadillac Eldorado luxury version was priced at $8,000! Stutz Blackhawks were "hand-assembled" in Turin, Italy, on a Pontiac Grand Prix chassis, and powered by a 7.5-liter, 431 hp General Motors V8, supporting a weight of 2.3 tons! Famous owners include Elvis Presley, Paul McCartney, Al Pacino, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Junior, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Isaac Hayes and Elton John.
