The artist Philipp Hympendahl with his Picture »La-Photo«.

The first copy of the greatest cycling photo of all time was auctioned for charity, parallel to the Tour de France 2010.

All proceeds went to Special Olympics a disabled sports organization. Now you can bid on another copy.

»La-Photo« is a modern peace of art on the highest technical standards.

Photographed on a 8x10 inch camera, the negative was then scanned in very high resolution. With the specialist Christoph Galla the result was then adjusted to reality and not at all manipulated. The next step was to bring the perfect result on the 1,80 m x 2,30 m C-Print.

After several tests, the final print was then concealed on 3mm Dibond and put behind 4mm Plexiglass. On the backside a aluminum profile frame gives stability fot the 50 kg heavy peace of art. A certificate with the titel, edition number and signature is mounted on the back.

The picture edition is limited to six. There will be no further editions. The auction of Edition Nr. 3/6 has already started and ends with the Tour de France 2011. 1/3 of the final price will be given to Specialolympics.
