I’m happy to announce that one of my pictures depicting the tennis legend Ilie Nastase is out for an auction at Artmark. The print is beautifully printed at gallery/museum standards, on a size of 70 by 60 cm, rolled on D-bond. As a limited print edition, this particular image is the first piece from the limit of 10.
The piece is a part of a larger photographic collection that will be auctioned today, along with images picturing other international legends like Joseph Beuys, David Hockney, Emil Cioran, Mircea Eliade, and others.
I did this portrait in 2013 as part of a more extensive photo session made for the cover and cover story of Esquire magazine. If you’re questioning Nastase’s gesture here, he explains and exemplifies why he was nicknamed “Nasty” at a point in his career.
You can bid on the above image starting today. Search “Galmeanu” on the “Artmark.ro” website, or check this link.
