World-renowned photographer Massimo Vitali will hold his first solo exhibition in Japan, "Coastal Colonies," from July 10th to July 16th at Spiral Garden in Omotesando.
Cala Mariol Shark, Italy, 2014
Massimo Vitali is a world-renowned photographer known for his beautiful photographs capturing miraculous moments of large groups of people spending time on European beaches. His works, rendered in the warm, rich colors of analog film, offer a glimpse into the fleeting gestures and stories of the people present, as well as moments when nature is in harmony with them. His works are housed in renowned museums such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, Spain, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and are currently traded in world-leading art galleries such as the Benrubi Gallery in New York and the Ronchini Gallery in London. Following his previous exhibition at the UBS Art Collection, "Art for the Heart," held in Japan as part of the UBS Art Collection, alongside works by renowned artists such as Andy Warhol and Basquiat, this long-awaited exhibition marks the first time his works have been shown in public.
Piscina das Mares Light, Portugal, 2016
This solo exhibition marks the first time in Japan that works set in the resorts of Italy, France, Portugal, and Ibiza will be on display. Rare original works, limited to six copies worldwide, will be on display. Captured from a height using the Dierdorf 11x14, considered the pinnacle of ultra-large format cameras, the ultra-high-resolution photographs measure a staggering 1.8m high and 2.4m wide. These works, whose true value can only be appreciated in their extra-large original form, are a must-see.
Saccione Black Bikini, Italy, 1997
Twenty works, including new works and photobooks containing premium works, will be on display and for sale at the venue.
In addition, Massimo Vitali will be present on July 16th. He will be present with the actual photography equipment he uses and will be holding a talk show where he will share rare behind-the-scenes stories from his shoots.
Get immersed in the spirit of a beach vacation through Massimo's work.
