Re: Pirelli goes natural

Yup. Except I think you are a little over the top in your criticism. It is an art piece and a collectible, a part of what Pirelli does to foster the brand. Whether it appeals to you or not is a matter of personal decision. Lots of people collect them, and collect books printed as collections

The calendar is a marketing gimmick. If they had stuck to standard garage wall fare nobody would pay any attention at all. Several decades ago some smart ad man realised they could get an annual burst of cheap global publicity by confounding expectations. They do this by giving carte blanche

I agree with Marco. The Pirelli calendar is a piece of marcom collateral that serves the dual function of promoting Pirelli (not necessarily their tires) as a company that supports the development of art and the humanities as well as provides a venue for photographers to exhibit their works.

Re: Pirelli goes natural

You have to ask yourself what are they trying to do Promote their tires, sell calendars or cater to older women. The photos are obviously well done but I bet they don't sell as many calendars as in years past - a lot of non car people have never seen/heard of the Pirelli calendar.
