TAMAGNI. Gentlemen of Bakongo.
£500.00
TAMAGNI, Daniele. Gentlemen of Bakongo. Printed for the photographer in Castrezzato, Italy, in 2007.
The rare true first edition, preceding the Trolley edition published in 2009 with a preface by Paul Smith (that on spelled Bacongo). The limitation calls for 40 copies, but only 20 copies were actually printed. Certainly one of the rarest fashion photobooks. This copy inscribed by the photographer (“To Sven. Vive le Sape. Best Daniele Tamagni”) who also crossed-out the statement of limitation. Publisher’s photo-illustrated boards (light wear at the hinges, near the foot, where a small area of laminate has lifted slightly from the paper).
