YVON LAMBERT 1955 - Lot 77
YVON LAMBERT 1955 Naples, 1991. Photography. Period silver print on glossy Ilford baryta paper, made by the author, signed in ink, titled and dated in pencil on the back. Bottom right corner folded in the margin. Image: 44 x 29.5 cm; sheet: 50 x 40 cm. Yvon Lambert (Luxembourger, born 1955) began his career as a photographer with a first project "Naples un hiver" in the early 1990s. His work subsequently turned towards the subject of European borders, projects for which he received, for example, the Grand Prix de la Ville de Vevey. He also increasingly appears as an itinerant photographer, whose travels nourish his sharp, poetic gaze, fixed beyond the clichés. His projects are exhibited in France and Europe and are the subject of important monographs. In this sale, we present four prints emblematic of Yvon Lambert's journey to Naples (1990-1991). These images are published in the books "Naples un Hiver" and "Napoli". The photograph of the two girls playing in the street appears on the cover of Elena Ferrante's famous novel "L'amie prodigieuse" in 2016.
