Ormond Gigli — Lips, New York
Ormond Gigli

Lips, New York

A striking chromogenic print by Ormond Gigli capturing an intimate and graphic close-up of lips, rendered with vivid color saturation and precise photographic clarity. Gigli's masterful use of light and composition transforms a simple subject into a bold, almost surreal study of form and sensuality. The later print preserves the luminous quality and rich tonal depth that defined Gigli's distinctive mid-century aesthetic.

Medium
Chromogenic print, printed later.
