Original print by the popular French photographer Jeanloup Sieff. The subject is Sylvie Guillem, a ballerina who was called the prima of the century. This work is from 1985, when Guillem was only 20 years old, just after being selected as an étoile of the Paris Opera Ballet, and she made her second visit to Japan that year. She was a genius ballerina who was still known only to a few people at the time. I believe this is a very rare work that is not included in Jeanloup Sieff's catalogs or photo collections and is hardly available in Japan. I am decluttering my collection for my end-of-life preparations, so I am offering it at a bargain price. I purchased it at a Jeanloup Sieff photo exhibition held over 30 years ago. It is not a reproduction, nor is it an edition number printed at the same time as many others; it is a one-of-a-kind original print. It also has the artist's autograph. It has been displayed in my room for a long time, so there is some aging, but it was displayed in a room that did not receive direct sunlight, so the photo itself has not faded. There may be some yellowing or slight stains on the mount. If you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. No returns or claims will be accepted. Please understand this in advance. Jeanloup Sieff Jeanloup Sieff debuted as a photo reporter for the French magazine "Elle" in 1955. He quickly rose to prominence and won the Niépce Prize in 1959. He was briefly a member of the Magnum photo group and specialized in reportage, but in the 1960s, he stayed in New York and flourished, shuttling between Paris and New York for world-renowned fashion magazines. In the 70s and 80s, he expanded his genre to include nudes, personal works, advertisements, and portraits. He was dedicated to monochrome photography and left behind many masterpieces. He received the Chevalier Award, a French national honor, and the Paris City Artist Award. He explored images of landscapes, nudes, and fashion with a strong sense of three-dimensionality that consciously transcended vision, using rich monochrome photography and wide-angle lenses. His works are still very popular today. - Artist: Jeanloup Sieff - Year of production: 1985 - Frame color: Black (aluminum frame) - Photo theme: Young Sylvie Guillem - Condition: Minor scratches, stains, and spots - Size: Frame size: 41.0cm wide x 51.0cm high Photo size (including signature): 29.0cm wide x 31.0cm high
