MARCO GLAVIANO

Following on from its success in Monaco, St Barth and Toronto, Space MIAMI Contemporary Art Gallery is delighted to bring to Miami – Glaviano 50. This exhibition celebrates 50 years in the career of one of the world’s most influential and iconic photographers – Marco Glaviano.

Marco Glaviano began his career shooting in Milan and New York and launching there the careers of some of the world’s most important supermodels including Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova and Paulina Porizkova.

With a career spanning 5 decades this photography exhibition is complete in presenting a selection of images from the last fifty years including works from the supermodels series, nudes, fashion series, portraits and St Barth series.

Marco Glaviano is one of the most famous names in the fashion industry, sought after by all the major supermodels from Cindy Crawford to Eva Herzigova. He has photographed more than 500 magazine covers for American Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Elle and other leading titles. He has shot campaigns for L’Oreal, Valentino, Revlon, Roberto Cavalli, Giorgio Armani, and Calvin Klein.

A special limited edition collector’s art book and commemorative print has been published by Space Contemporary Art Gallery. It is available with a choice of 4 different covers and with only 50 of each cover produced to mark the 50 years. Comprised of 362 pages, it features many previously unpublished photos, and an intimate glimpse into the life of Marco Glaviano through an extended interview which is included in the book as well as the limited edition fine art print pertaining to the cover image.

Glaviano 50 is a celebration of Marco Glaviano’s extensive career containing all of his major photographic work. It is the narrative of his life – a juicy archive full of beautiful and classic images that have made Marco Glaviano the timeless and legendary photographer he is today.

For collectors of his work and collectors of fine art photography this is a rare opportunity to own a signed, numbered, limited edition volume – as well as the fine art print of one of his photographs.

The exhibition also presents two special limited edition collector’s portfolios.

The first of these special series is the iconic Cindy Crawford Kiss portfolio. This collection of 12 pieces takes the well know Kiss image which is reproduced in all the different pop art colours – and the works are sprinkled with diamond dust.
“The series of Cindy Crawford Kiss is from a shoot that we did in St Barth in the 90s for Italian Vogue, it is a very simple picture but it is very iconic and also shows a different side of Cindy. Cindy and I have taken hundreds of pictures in St Barth but most were for her famous calendars and too sexy, the Kiss makes me smile and feel good” – MG
 
The collectors set is designed to be hung as a full wall installation and a limited number are available… Additionally a special Supermodels Portfolio has been produced. This is a special collectors set of 12 pieces which celebrates Glaviano’s classic black and white photography. “It comprises 12 of the most famous Top Models who I have worked with during my forty years shooting in St Barth, these are some of my best pictures”.

Marco Glaviano has published fourteen books, and had numerous solo exhibitions around the world. He has been the leading pioneer of digital photography becoming the first to publish a digital photograph in American Vogue in 1982.
His photographs are highly collectable and hung in some of the world’s leading museums and private collections. He also designed and founded Pier 59 in New York, still recognised today as the most important and well-known photo studio in the world. The Principality of Monaco is rich in art and culture and we can think of no better place to launch this important retrospective of Marco Glaviano.

Show opens 13th February 2018. The solo exhibition will run through March 2018.

Gallery opening hours: By appointment only Monday – Saturday 10am – 8pm.
