1st Printing. Signed. 1 pages. Published in 2017. Rare Luis Gonzalez Palma collectible item. A pristine framed copy of "Hija de la Vida" ("Daughter of Life") commemorative original color print, with the Certificate of Authenticity numbered and signed by Luis Gonzalez Palma. Limited Edition of 100 numbered and authenticated/signed copies. Actual print size is 11 X 11 inches. The artist/photographer issued NO other print size, and did NOT reissue the print after all of the editioned copies were sold. Meticulously matted by the artist/photographer himself. Full matted size is 15 X 15 inches. Solid white wood frame by Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago. Full framed size is 17 X 17 inches. The Certificate of Authenticity comes in its own protective plastic sheet. Printed, using advanced digital technology, on archival watercolor paper in Buenos Aires, Argentina to museum-quality standards. Published to commemorate the artist/photographer's third invitation and participation at the Venice Biennale in 2017, making him the very first and only Latin-American artist thus far to be thrice-honored by the most prestigious art retrospective in the world. Most artists would consider themselves fortunate to be invited to participate even once. Presents Luis Gonzalez Palma's "Hija de la Vida"/"Daughter of Life". A stunningly beautiful portrait of a lovely, young Latin-American woman crowned with a bouquet of fresh flowers. She is the iconic symbol of the promise of youth, the beauty of innocence, and their imminent fading and evanescence. Just as the flowers on her head will fade, so will she in time is Gonzalez Palma's tender and poignant message. "Gonzalez Palma's images unfold with increasing significance, resulting in an underlying sense of tension and foreboding that is only slightly eased by their sheer loveliness" (A. D. Miller). An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Luis Gonzalez Palma collectors. This copy of "Hija de la Vida" commemorative original color print is one of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such on the Certificate of Authenticity that comes with it. The latter is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen by Luis Gonzalez Palma. This print is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only print available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: As is his custom, the artist/photographer numbered and signed the Certificate, NOT the print. The artist/photographer issued NO other print size, and did NOT reissue the print after all of the editioned copies were sold. Meticulously matted by the artist/photographer himself. Elegantly framed by Stephen Daiter Gallery Chicago. A rare print thus. One of the finest Latin-American artist/photographers of our time. A fine collectible print.
