The 29 ARTS IN PROGRESS gallery in October 21 presented “Mario Testino: Unfiltered”, a major exhibition of this celebrated artist and photographer’s work.

The show took place in two consecutive exhibitions in Milan, the first from 1st of October – 27th of November and the second from 2nd of December 2021 – 28th of February 2022. 

​

Alongside his rarest and most iconic large format photographs, the Milanese gallery also presented an exclusive and unpublished body of work that were available in new formats and editions, thereby revealing a lesser known, more spontaneous and personal side of the artist’s oeuvre. 

​

The ambitious exhibition bought to the attention of Italian and International collectors more than 50 artworks carefully selected by the gallery owners and Mario Testino. The exhibition included not only the photographer’s most beloved muses, in both iconic and previously unpublished shots, but it also demonstrated the photographer’s vast creativity, as much in fashion as in his most intimate portraits, brought together in an ode to Italy. The exhibition, in fact,  included a selection of works from the recent publication Ciao (Taschen, 2020), a book dedicated to the artist’s love affair with Italy.

​

Part two of the exhibition contained a body of never before seen work, intimate portraits, authentic snapshots of an artist’s life lived to the fullest, alongside a few of the faces that have left an indelible mark on his extraordinary career.
