Description from the seller

The Italian architect and designer Carlo Mollino cherished photography—it was one of his great passions and favorite means of expression, and an excellent way to enjoy another great passion, women. The photographs collected here were all taken in one of Mollino’s private apartments, which he renovated specifically for this purpose. An advocate of retouching, as documented in his treatise, The Message from the Dark Room, Mollino also painted on his photos or negatives. Most of what appears here has been edited, with most bodies sculpted and reshaped, and this is now clearly visible as time has altered the color of the prints, revealing his craftsmanship. This portfolio, covering the years 1956 to 1962, ends just before Mollino’s Polaroid work of the 1960s. It was created using a Leica and color negative film, and has never been published before.
