Throckmorton Fine Art inaugures presenting Twenty Five Years by Christian Cravo, the fifth book of photographs by the Guggenheim Fellowship recipient, at its New York gallery until February 27, 2016.
Christian Cravo was born in Brazil in 1974 the offspring of a unique union between the renowned Brazilian photographer from Bahia, Mário Cravo Neto (1947-2009) and Eva Christensen, from Denmark. Christian is also the grandson of the equally renowned sculptor Mario Cravo Jr., so he is the scion of a world that favors the visual arts in Brazil’s most colorful city, Salvador.
When Cravo’s parents came together, the distant and disparate worlds they came from fostered an amazing curiosity in their son who in time used these geo-cultural touchstones to great artistic advantage.
