"Perched squarely at the intersection of Art and Motoring, the Pirelli Calendar has developed somewhat of a cult following since it was first released in 1964. Filled with gorgeous compositions by the world&amp;#039;s foremost photographers, its annual spreads are the stuff of highbrow motoring legend: beautiful models, chic fashion, and exquisite machinery.  What makes the Pirelli Calendar so intriguing is that it&amp;#039;s a limited edition piece-a corporate gift restricted to only a few choice customers and celebrities. Think of it as the Skull and Bones Society on wheels.   As the story goes, both Pirelli UK and Pirelli Italia commissioned photoshoots for the 1986 edition, the former using Brooklyn-born fashion photographer Bert Stern, the latter using German-Australian snapper Helmut Newton. Though Pirelli eventually chose to feature the American&amp;#039;s pictures for the &amp;#039;86 Calendar, the marketing folks all agreed that Newton&amp;#039;s work was far too beautiful to bin.  And so the second set of commissioned photos from &amp;#039;86 was locked away in a company vault ... until now.   Mulling over ideas for next year&amp;#039;s edition (the 50th anniversary), someone at Pirelli realized that Newton&amp;#039;s photos were still buried in the company&amp;#039;s archives; coincidentally, 2014 and 1986 are identical calendar years.  Captured on location in Tuscany&amp;#039;s Chianti vineyards and around Monte Carlo during the &amp;#039;85 Grand Prix, the 2014 Pirelli Calendar will feature a dozen black and white fine art photos as well as 29 &amp;#039;backstage&amp;#039; pictures which showcase a behind-the-scenes look at Newton&amp;#039;s lost shoot.
