Valentine's Day is just over a week away, and figuring out what would be the perfect gift for a loved one (or even a lust one) isn't always easy. Perhaps it's time to think outside the box; perhaps something tubular, something off-the-wall that your honey can hang on the wall? Think: the gift of art.
Also, it's important to remember that in a sense, the gift of art is more than a gift. Many works of contemporary art as well as photographic images have undergone strong increases in value over the past 30 years, so a gift of a fine-art photograph is not only something beautiful to look at, in a sense it's also an investment in the future. (Admittedly, if, when, how or why a piece of art increases in value can only sometimes be predicted, but a thing of beauty, as they say, is a joy forever—and choosing a piece your loved one will enjoy is the primary concern, after all.)
With that in mind, Goliath Books is now offering hand-signed photography prints of some of the most iconic pictures it has published, from some of its most famous photographers, including the world renowned Leonardo Glauso, Holly Randall, Charles Gatewood, Dave Naz, Peter Gorman, Christian Saint, Marc Van Dalen and pin-up specialist Chas Ray Krider—and all are signed, sealed (well, placed in a sturdy mailing tube) and can be delivered for Valentine's Day.
All pictures offered by Goliath are strictly limited editions—only 30 of each will be made—and each is hand-signed, printed on high quality paper, numbered and available at entry-level prices.
A full selection of images and gift ideas can be found on the company's website, GoliathBooks.com.
