Experience the Vision of Fabrizio Gianni: A Retrospective at City of Glasgow College

A rare opportunity to witness the extraordinary work of legendary photographer Fabrizio Gianni is coming to City of Glasgow College. This exclusive retrospective exhibition will be on display at the Ralph Cowan Gallery, located on the seventh floor of City Campus, from 12th to 27th March 2025. Open to students, staff, and the public, the exhibition will run daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering a unique chance to explore the stunning portfolio.

Gianni’s career spans over four decades, with his striking imagery appearing in Vogue, Elle, GQ, and Harper’s Bazaar, featuring iconic figures such as Anthony Hopkins, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Keanu Reeves. Before turning his lens to fashion photography, he worked in the film industry, notably as an assistant director on Sergio Leone’s classic The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. His cinematic background strongly influences his photographic style, blending elegance, storytelling, and a sense of movement that captivates audiences.

To celebrate the opening of the exhibition, a special silent auction will take place on the evening of 12th March from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Guests will have an exclusive opportunity to acquire hand-printed darkroom photographs, limited edition prints, and posters signed by Gianni himself. All proceeds from the auction will go towards supporting the Beatson Cancer Charity, making this a celebration of art, but also a meaningful way to contribute to an important cause.

City of Glasgow College is honoured to host this remarkable collection, and Lecturer John Carberry expressed his excitement, stating:

“Fabrizio has been a great support to our students over the years, and it is a great honour to have his iconic work on display at the College, especially in support of the Beatson Charity.”

Those wishing to attend the opening night can register for free via Eventbrite here. Donations to the Beatson Cancer Charity can also be made via JustGiving.
