200 copies available of Ardani Artists’ ballet photo book Impressario
Adani Artists, the modern Diaghilevs, impresarios, are celebrating their first 25 years of activity with dance galas and also with a luxurious photography book, Impresario: Dancers in New Dimensions.
The 500 page book of commissioned photographs of their most popular tour creations – “Kings of the Dance”, “Beauty in Motion”, “Reflections” and “Solo for Two” – features images by some of the finest photographers of our era: Patrick Demarchelier, Alice Blangero, Lucas Chilczuk, Fabrizio Ferri, Michael Khoury, Jason Kim, Alessio Migliardi, Gene Schiavone, Nina Alovert, Nikolay Krusser, Stas Levshin and many others.
However, this really is a ‘get it while you can’ moment as there are only 200 copies available. Although the price of $250 may sound steep, it is for 500 pages of a limited edition, which makes it very attractive indeed.
