CARLO MOLLINO Photographies

Carlo Mollino was possessed of both tremendous energy and incredibly diverse abilities. His private life was no less intense. Mollino had a closely guarded obsession with erotic portraiture, and would regularly invite prostitutes from the streets of Turin to come to his home and pose for him. The scenes were carefully prepared: the models would dress (or partially undress) in costumes, accessories and wigs that Mollino had acquired on trips to France or Southeast Asia, and pose before backdrops of drapery, screens and sculptural furniture. Despite the furtive circumstances of their production, these portraits express the aesthetics of Mollino's more public photographs, as the models appear more statuesque than pornographic. Likewise, the opulent interiors and opulent furnishings of Mollino's private homes in Turin, the Villa Zaira and what is now known as Casa Mollino serve as crucial components of the compositions. In 1962, Mollino began to employ Polaroid film for these shoots, eventually making some 1,300 exposures before his death in 1973. Neither these nor the silver gelatin works that preceded them were published in his lifetime, and this is the first publication of these Polaroids.


Il venditore si racconta

I libri sono la mia grande passione, che con grande amore colleziono privatamente da decenni, custodisco un vastissimo assortimento di migliaia di volumi di fotografia, Avanguardia, Erotica, Moda e Controcultura.

Non è colpa del venditore ma la valutazione dell’esperto era fuori mercato. Purtroppo avevo fatto l’offerta e ho dovuto pagare. Prossima volta starò più attento.

Risposta del venditore

Grazie ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Petit livret en parfait état et très bien protégé. Par contre il aurait été préférable que vous indiquiez dans votre annonce les dimensions de ce livret, soit 15 cm/12cm. Les photos sont très petites.

Risposta del venditore

We are sorry for this situation, but the dimensions of the book are those released by the publisher, there are no other dimensions. Regarding the measurements, these are not reported because it is not information required for books. The photos inserted in the Auction are the real ones of the book for sale. In any case, if you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can return the book by sending a request via catawiki, we will be happy to assist you with this. Thanks again for your feedback. ❤️
