GABINO DIEGO’S PHOTOGRAPHIC COLLECTION

WOMEN AND CHILDREN...FIRST

Gabino Diego, the famous actor, is a major collector of photographs. He explains that the very first picture he bought was Holly, a portrait of the daughter of Robert Freeman, the Beatles photographer, and a friend of him. It was the beginning, as Gabino recounts, “of this kind of passion-obsession, which became in what I never thought it would, a collection. And now there is an exhibition with a catalogue that will remain forever.”

I have the great pleasure of participate in this splendid show with a couple of photos, of the Madrid sisters, that I photographed in Cerralaba in 1978 and in 2005, and that made the cover of the La Vanguardia Magazine.
