PIRELLI CALENDAR 1964-2004

40 YEARS

Collective work

(...)The first edition of the Pirelli Calendar was published in 1964 and was the work of Robert Freeman, photographer for the Beatles. Since then, "The Cal" has measured the months with the images of the most famous photographers, providing a key to reading the transformations that have characterized the last forty years and often foreshadowing new moral trends, especially regarding the role of the image of women in modern society. The most successful photographers of recent times, the most beautiful and famous actresses and models, including Nastassja Kinski, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Monica Bellucci, posing in the most fashionable places, and the exclusivity of the Calendar have made it an object of worship over the years, sought after by collectors from all over the world. Until now, the Calendar was intended only for an elite audience, but now - thanks to this unprecedented publication - any true connoisseur of beauty can get their hands on it. The fortieth anniversary of the publication of the first Calendar is commemorated by a full anthology of images by such photographers as Harri Peccinotti, Herb Ritts, Peter Lindbergh, Bruce Weber, Nick Knight and many others(...)
