Description from the seller

Lancia LC2 - The Racing Legend

With the work "Lancia LC2 - The Racing Legend," the artist Karl Alinghi celebrates the myth of motor sport through a monumental photograph of extraordinary visual power.

Offered in an exclusive 120x80 cm format as the first copy of a very limited run of only 30 pieces, the work is presented on a Premium Plexiglass support that gives it exceptional depth and unmatched chromatic brightness.

The shot immortalizes the legendary competition Lancia LC2, enveloped in the darkness of the pits. The car emerges from the shadows, revealing its aerodynamic silhouette and its iconic Martini Racing livery, where the graphic details of the historic sponsors – Magneti Marelli, Michelin and Siem – evoke the gold age of endurance racing. The frontal geometric composition, paired with the stark contrast between the deep black background and the white of the bodywork, transforms this racing car into a true timeless mechanical sculpture.

The choice of plexiglass proves structural: light passes through the premium acrylic to enhance reflections on the windshield and the saturation of the famous blue and red bands, offering a dynamic, three-dimensional impact perfect for contemporary art collections and spaces with modern design.

A work of strong decorative character, perfect for elite art collections and prestigious spaces.

Exclusivity: Limited series of 30 copies worldwide.

Copy: no. 01 / 30.
Signature: Manually signed and numbered by the artist on the back. + COA

Delivery time: about 2 weeks

Logistics & Commitment

Quality: The work is checked and signed by the artist in his studio before shipment.
Delivery: Shipped in reinforced packaging specifically for fragile materials. Certificate of Authenticity (COA) paper signed included in the package.

Delivery time: about 2 weeks
Note on fees: Because Plexiglas is fragile, multiple purchases will be shipped in separate packages.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Note: Unlike standard paper prints shipped in a tube, this work is produced on a rigid large-format Plexiglas support. To ensure its integrity, a reinforced special packaging with corner protections and double-wall cardboard is used. The shipping cost reflects the quality and safety required for an artwork of this value.

Born in Switzerland in 1996, Alinghi developed an early passion for photography. He later formalized his approach by pursuing university studies in photography and was quickly recognized by his peers, winning several awards for the quality of his work.

The artist defines himself as an eclectic photographer, but his work focuses mainly on two distinct areas: artistic nude photography and motor sports.
In his work around the female form, he seeks to capture the essence of beauty that is both wild and raw and of harmonious serenity. His aim is to highlight these subtle contrasts through the development of dedicated photographic series.

The artist presents his work on his website and typically organizes one solo exhibition per year to share his most recent creations.

"The photographer strives to explore the body in its natural environment, seeking authenticity and emotion rather than mere aesthetics." U.G.
