Gérard Fouquet Claude Berri Photography: vintage print & original autograph of the celebrity. Size 23 x 17.5 cm This photographic print bearing an autograph of the celebrity is unique. It comes directly from the personal collection of Gérard Fouquet. The photographer's stamp is affixed to the back of the print. Gérard Fouquet photographed celebrities from the world of arts and entertainment from the end of the 70s, and this for several decades. Accompanied by his wife, they carried out a significant work, combined with their passion - and armed with patience - by going to meet their "stars" and obtain "the image". They thus immortalized actresses and actors of the 7th art of American and French cinema, from Paris to Deauville via the Cannes Film Festival, in sometimes unprecedented moments. Once the photo was taken, the photographer had the print developed and returned to see the personality to ask for his "autograph" signature. Thus, over the years, the couple collected hundreds of black and white or color silver prints, with some celebrities personally dedicating the photographs to them. A significant collection was then built up.
