"The Cal": the Pirelli 2000 Calendar

This auction is for a limited edition 2000 Pirelli Calendar: it is not available to buy and is given only to a limited number of important Pirelli customers and VIPs. For this reason, it is a precious heirloom featuring images of a certain charm.

The calendar is an original and is in excellent condition.

Annie Leibovitz was the photographer for this edition, the third woman photographer of a Pirelli calendar. 

Leibovitz took her photos in New York. There, she decided that the most glamorous and sexy calendar in the world would be based around the natural beauty of the woman, represented in 12 classic portraits. They are reminiscent of the works of famous painters such as Rubens Botticelli. 

The photos are cool and elegant. The images, almost always without a head, are like the bodies of statues and sculptures. "Look at the woman in the traditional way", as she says. Leibovitz reaches her stylistic perfection in the image of the Olympic athlete Jacqui Agyepong, that looks like a bust of Riace. 

Alberto Pirelli has decided to auction this item to support NAM - Nobel a Mogol.
