Introducing Carlo Borlenghi's digital collections
Carlo Borlenghi makes a debut in the NFT world with a first class collection of selected artworks.
True to the pioneering spirit that has characterised his work from the very beginning, Carlo Borlenghi is now one of the first photographers to embrace the digital revolution.
The artist, known worldwide for his outstanding representation of numerous editions of the America’s Cup (as well as the most prestigious regattas around the globe), marks his grand entrance in the NFT space with a curated selection of artworks, ranging from vintage gems to experimental pieces.
Collectors will be able to snatch some iconic pictures that made the history of boating: Alinghi’s flight over the Alps, Luna Rossa’s encounter with Amerigo Vespucci, the Moro surrounded by gondolas in Venice, even one unique-edition of the “Boogeyman”, arguably the most representative of Borlenghi’s works.
The images come in numbered editions in a maximum of 15 copies per piece, with most of them in a 10 copies edition and some extra rare works in a unique edition.
Some of the selected pieces will be presented privately for a pre-sale to long-time affectionate clients; after the pre-sale it will be possible to browse and enjoy them on Rarible, where the limited editions will be publicly displayed, and SuperRare, home of the unique editions and most prestigious works.
THEMATIC UNITY
The collections are grouped by theme: About Sail, Vintage, Sail.
About Sail is inclusive of experimental and abstract pieces, meant to extract the essence of sailing from objects, buildings, landscapes and situations. Through the eyes of his camera, Borlenghi is able to find a sail in a shadow or in a reflection, even in a casual movement or overlap of perspectives.
A testament to a passion that comes from deep in the artist’s heart.
Thanks to “Vintage”, collectors will relive historic moments of the last 40 years of sailing, through the selection of iconic pictures that came to be emblematic representations of the aspirations and conquests of generations of sailors. Il Moro di Venezia, Luna Rossa, Alinghi, Azzurra, Emirates, the roll of honor of numerous editions of the America’s Cup.
Sail is the collection that encloses the broadest view of marine life and sailing spirit. It’s Carlo Borlenghi’s take on some of the most revered boats and regattas, interpreted in his very personal way and in his distinctive style: full spinnakers, raging bows and truly palpable wind.
It’s also where fans and sailors will find images of the epithome of yachting: the J-Class boats, engaged in match or fleet races such as the notorious St Barth’s Bucket.
The release is scheduled to happen gradually in the coming weeks; in the meantime, the artist set up a contact address useful for both seasoned bidders and newcomers in need of assistance.
