Luigi Ghirri: Ruvo di Puglia, 1983

Luigi Ghirri’s fresh color observations of Italy’s contemporary culture are witty, poetic, and often surreal, as in Ruvo di Puglia. As William Eggleston notes in the preface to It’s Beautiful Here, Isn't It... (Aperture 2008), “He teases the viewer about what is real and what is not.” Ghirri’s images are visually profound and are about the nature of representation and seeing. Ghirri influenced a generation of photographers, including Eggleston, Olivo Barbieri, and Martin Parr.

Aperture is pleased to offer this limited-edition archival pigment in print in collaboration with Paola Ghirri, the artist’s wife.

Each limited-edition print is hand-packed with great care and ships from New York within 3–5 days.
