VIRTUAL EXHIBITION IN 3D
Opening: Friday, June 19th 2020 – h 6.30 pm
Milan, June 3rd 2020 – The Deodato Arte Gallery presents "Marco Glaviano Icons", the exhibition of the artist Marco Glaviano, which traces the career of one of the most appreciated Italian photographers in the world, known for his wonderful fashion photos, calendars, collaborations with glossy magazines such as Vogue America and Harper's Bazaar and stylists of the caliber of Giorgio Armani, but above all for photographing the supermodels of the 80s and 90s such as Cindy Crawford, Paulina Porizkova, Claudia Schiffer and Eva Herzigova giving birth to myths and style icons that have marked a ‘era. The exhibition is unique in its kind and can be visited by a potentially infinite number of people, thanks to the application of virtual reality developed internally by the IT technicians of the Deodato Arte gallery, precisely to allow the public to enjoy works of art admiring them in an environment 3D, from different angles, while virtually "walking" in a realistic, though virtual, space.
"Marco Glaviano Icons" officially opens on Friday 19 June at 18.30 in the "virtual room" of the Deodato Arte gallery, accessible directly from the website www.deodato.com.
The exhibition includes Best Seller and Unposted works by the photographer passionate about jazz music, who in almost fifty years of his career has produced 15 books immortalizing the most prominent characters of the international jet set. Quincy Jones, B.B. King, Whitney Houston, Gianni Agnelli and Alberto di Monaco are just some of the characters whose soul Glaviano captured in rare intensity shots.
