The story
behind that picture
"The Dior Lady"

By Thorsten von Overgaard

In May 2011 I walked the streets of Sicily.

The woman in the image is the Danish model Ann we had taken with us to Sicily in May 2011 for the Overgaard Workshop.

She had a very nice wardrobe with her and the first evening after my assistant, Ann and I had arrived we went out to have dinner araound and she was waring this outfit.

I noticed that when a tall blond woman elegantly dressed walked in the streets of Palermo, the men would stop what they were doing and admire the woman with respect.

This made it posible for me to predict the photograph.

So walking behind Ann and approacing three men by a scooter smoking and talking, I knew what the outcome would be.

My Largest Prints - The 72" Aluboard Print is an Art Statement

My largest prints are usually five to six feet tall (72 inches/180cm); "stand-alone prints" made on glossy photo paper (c-print) that is laminated on 3mm aluboard aluminum plates (also known as “The Rolls Royce of photo printing”). The aluboard has mountings and distance bricks on the back, so they are ready to hang with just two screws on the wall. It's a format that doesn't require a frame, and it just floats half an inch or so from the wall. I like this type of photo because it's impressive, it's a statement, and the photo dominates and sets the tone for the room, hallway or space it hangs in.

Exhibition prints

The Salzburg Collection is a series of 68 prints from the Leica Galerie Salzburg exhibition.

Raffles-Collection Singapore is a series of large 72" prints from the exhibition "I Am Here" .

My smallest size print here, shown the way I usually have prints framed.

My smallest prints are 4 x 6 inches

Sometimes I just want to have a photo because I like it. I am not trying to fill a space on a wall, and I am not running a gallery or a museum. In fact, I am not even a collector. I am just gathering things I like; which is original art that is personalized by the artist (usually signed and/or given to me as a gift). In my home I have prints of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Stanley Cubrick, Peter Turnley, Jan Grarup, Paul Wolff, Helmut Newton and many others. Many of them are relatively small prints that can fit on a relatively small wall section, as an integrated part of my home. I made this "junior collector size" of 4.25 x 5.5 inches available because it gives many people the possibility to have one or more of my photos at a very reasonable price, and it happens to be a size I like myself. They can even stand on a desktop, and I think they are awesome.
