The recent display of the Self-Portraits Collection at the first floor of the Uffizi Gallery of Florence, shows for the first time the sels-portrait of a Street Artist, the Londoner Endless. The artist gave the work in 2021, when he was in charge of doing a murales on the occasion of the Mondial Championship of alpin skiing in Cortina d'Ampezzo that year.The self-portrait consists of a mixed technique where the artist is shown beetween the famous couple of contemporary art Gilbert & George, hidden by the magazine he was reading (so we cannot see his face, as a tribute to the anonymity of the street art). The photograph was done by Noel Shelley, following Endless desire. This self-portrait was done expressly for the Uffizi Gallery of Florence.
