In Cambi Auction House's upcoming Photography Auction to be held on July 6, 2023, photographs will tell the story of this media, with photographic shots and works by progenitors and experimenters, starting from the late 1800s, moving through iconic photographs of the 1900s, to the works of contemporary artists and traversing history and major international events. Artists in the auction include Aleksandr Michajlovic Rodcenko, but also some very important Italian photographers, including Franco Fontana, Mario Giacomelli, artists who used photography for their research in the 1970s-80s, such as Michele Zaza, along with contemporary artists such as Vanessa Beecroft and Francesco Vezzoli.
Top Lot in the auction: a work by Francesco Vezzoli, an authentic masterpiece and unique work, namely Cassandra Crying which is an embroidered photograph, a typical style Vezzoli uses. The work was created ad hoc for Vanity Fair magazine, which used it as the cover of a special 2016 issue.
