polaroids

After the artist’s death, some 1,200 Polaroid photos were found in the residence. They are images of naked dancers, prostitutes and society women. Almost all of the photos were taken by Mollino in the Casa Mollino. The choice of a Polaroid was also no accident; in love with speed, Mollino wanted to see what he had captured on film then and there. An exhibit of some of the photos was mounted by Ferrari in 1985. They may well constitute the largest and most brilliant aspect of Carlo Mollino’s legacy.
