If you’ve long considered a yacht to be a floating work of art, here’s your chance to put a version of that yacht on your wall.
Azimut-Benetti has created Azimut-Benetti Art, a collection of fine art prints and photos available for purchase. The goal was to tap the emotional connection that owners and yachting enthusiasts have for the lifestyle.
Ranging from enhanced photos of some of the company’s most famous yachts and superyachts to artistic interpretations of general yachting themes, each print is reproduced through a proprietary giclée printing process — using water-based pigmented inks — that is said to provide far better color reproduction and even saturation than traditional giclée printing. The inks are also UV-resistant and resist fading.
Each work of art, such as the one pictured here, titled The Most Beautiful II, is custom printed according to your specifications. Various sizes are available, and you further have a choice of photographic paper, canvas, or museum-quality fine-art paper. Costs range from €100 to €1,000 ($123 to $1,233). Both numbered editions and limited editions are available. With the limited editions, prints are available on a first-come, first-served basis, though you can request a specific number, if it is still available. If that’s not distinctive enough for you, then consider the Unique Editions. These are one-print-only pieces, with the 1/1 designation reproduced on the artwork. Azimut-Benetti guarantees that the digital file will be destroyed once your print is created.
All orders are processed via the dedicated website, though Azimut-Benetti anticipates having authorized art dealers in the future. Regardless, every art print is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. In addition, each is registered in the Azimut Benetti Official Fine Art Registry. This way, if you purchase a work of art from a dealer or eventually from a private individual, you can obtain information on its authenticity.
