Sold
Alberto KORDA (1928 - 2001), Cuban photographer
Guerrillero Heroico
Posterior silver print signed, dated (1999) and number 46/50 in fine felt in lower margins.
Famous photograph of Che Guevara immortalized on March 5, 1960 by Cuban photographer Alberto Korda, this charismatic portrait of Che with black and rebellious gaze traveled the world and crossed time. Korda tells us that a demonstration was organized by Fidel Castro in tribute to the victims of the sabotage of the French ship La Coubre which was anchored in Cuban water. A platform had been set up, it was then that Che Guevara appeared in the background of Fidel Castro who was in the company of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre. His dark and intense gaze was captured on the spot by the photographer. But this photo was not retained by the revolutionary newspaper "Revolución" which did not publish it until February 1961. Its notoriety was acquired after the death of the revolutionary, on October 9, 1967, when the Italian publisher Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, who had bought the summer before a set of photos of Che Guevara with Korda, printed the portrait on several posters which he sold in thousands of copies. The legend was on the move.
Photographer's dry stamps, two on the front and two on the back.
Dimension including margins: 27.9 x 43.1 cm
Good condition
Certificate of authenticity from the son of photographer Dante Diaz Korda
