A self-described “bumbling photographer” from Norfolk, England who was appointed MBE—one step down from a knighthood—in the Queen’s New Years Honours List in 2012, Andy Gotts has certainly come a long way in the past 30 years. Though you may not be familiar with his name, a compelling new compendium of his work, Andy Gotts: The Photograph, published by ACC Art Books, makes clear that you should get acquainted. Just ask Britain’s National Portrait Gallery, which holds a number of his photographs in its permanent collection. Gotts famously got his start with an impromptu 90-second photo shoot with Stephen Fry while at university in 1989, a chance encounter he has leveraged into an impressive career; one of his subjects, actor Alan Cumming, writes in an essay for the book that…

Upon the death of his grandmother in 1965, an eager 20-year-old Piero Ferrari first joined the company of his birthright. His father, the marque’s legendary founder Enzo Ferrari, followed his beloved mother’s wish as written in her will and initiated Piero’s time in Maranello; famously decreeing that Piero start at the bottom and work his way up the various departments of the Scuderia and motorsports divisions. Half a century later, Piero is now not only the marque’s Ambassador, but its Vice Chairman, with responsibility for Ferrari Classiche, the brand’s vaunted restoration program—making Piero the literal conduit bridging the classic era of Ferrari with the modern one. In that time the Italian businessman has also invested heavily in Piaggio Aero Engineering and yacht builders Ferretti Group, fortifying his regard not just…

While the Monza SP1 reprises the barchetta concept, which is essentially a single-seater body with no roof, the Daytona SP3 arose from the idea of developing an equally as strong design product,” explains Flavio Manzoni. The inspiration Ferrari’s Chief Design Officer refers to being of course the legendary 330 P4 sports-prototype racers that captured the entire podium at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1967, cementing their place in Ferrari—and all motorsports—lore. The latest in the Icona Series, the Daytona SP3 follows the twin Monzas (single-seater SP1 and SP2 coupé) revealed in 2018. Envisioned for very low volume, every car in the newly minted cost-bedamned Icona Series will be available only to Ferrari’s most elite—think loyal and wealthy—clientele. While the windshield-less Monzas were straight-lined and sleek, the newest SP3 features…
