  • GIANFRANCO GORGONI Robert Smithson Spiral Jetty
    Apr. 11, 2025

    GIANFRANCO GORGONI Robert Smithson Spiral Jetty

    Est: €5,000 - €8,000

    Color print on Hahnemuhle paper (printed 2018) Cm 61 x 77 Unique work in this size Signed on artist label Framed (white wood + plexi) size cm 84 x 101 x 4,5 Original provenance: The artist, New York USA I met Robert Smithson in the early 1970’s at Max Kansas City, in New York, an American bar near Union Square that was very much in vogue among the artists of the time. Indeed the bar was mainly frequented by the “New York Art Scene” and could be compared to Caffè Rosati in Rome or Bar Giamaica in Milan. He was usually with Carl Andre and Richard Serra, who I already knew. So, whenever my eyes met with Smithson’s it was obviously a cordial greeting. One evening someone, I can’t remember who, took me to his studio in the Village; he told me that he would be going to Utah in the Spring to find a location for his next project: a Land Art piece in the Great Salt Lake. He showed me some drawings he had done of a road that lead into a lake, ending in an islet. It was then that I proposed to document what was to become his most famous work, the Spiral Jetty.Gianfranco Gorgoni© 2010 Photology Editions Gianfranco Gorgoni Spiral Jetty

    Chromogenic print on Kodak paper Gianfranco Gorgoni (b. 1941) – Italian photographer Signed in ink on lower verso ‘Gorgoni’ Dimensions: 24 x 20 in; 61 x 50.8 cm Good condition After coming to the U.S. in 1968, Gorgoni traveled across the country documenting the hippy lifestyle of the times. In the summer of 1969, Gorgoni found himself fat Woodstock for the famous rock concert for peace. The images that he took there helped him to build a very successful career photographing for the German monthly magazine Twen and for the Italian magazine L’Espresso. The later publication commissioned him to photograph the NYC art scene of the early 1970s, connecting him to many great artists of the time. During this time, Gorgoni took this unique vintage photograph. This work is a wonderful example of his playful artistic side, a fantastic female nude torso with a strategically placed flower.
