Gianni Berengo Gardin, Things never seen – Sale d’Arte, Alessandria
Gianni Berengo Gardin (1930), perhaps the best-known Italian photographer, created 263 books during his long and successful career. The last one dates back to 2023 when, assisted by his daughter Susanna, he reviewed his entire archive by selecting 114 images, only five of which were previously published. Thus was born Things never seen. Unpublished photographs, published by the Contrasto publishing house and presented on display for the first time at the Ma.Co.F in Brescia last year. For the Sale d’Arte of Alessandria Giovanna Calvenzi and Susanna Berengo Gardin propose a different, compact selection: around sixty “things never seen” but with a prevailing attention dedicated to the men and women that Berengo Gardin met during his Work. Images not printed, not published and which nevertheless testify, as usual, to his extraordinary mastery. The journey through his archive begins in 1954 and ends in 2023. It passes through many Italian cities, reaches Paris, France, Croatia, Hungary, Spain, Norway, stops in Moscow, China, Japan, London and in New York. From June 6th
