Venice, Palazzo Grassi/Punta della Dogana
MAPPING THE STUDIO
Edited by Francesco Bonami,
Alison Gingeras
English/French/Italian text
Size 24×28,5
Pages 300
Illustrations 200 color
Paperback with flaps
Release date 2009
Price € 60,00
The works of François Pinault’s prestigious contemporary art collection, which
are being exhibited simultaneously at Punta della Dogana and Palazzo Grassi.
The catalogue of the inaugural exhibition, organized by Alison Gingeras and Francesco
Bonami, which will involve both the Punta della Dogana and Palazzo Grassi.
The works are presented in a way that is in harmony with the characteristics
and atmosphere of each venue: a more intimate, private view on the one hand,
and a more outward-looking world view on the other. Together, the two parts of the
exhibition create a dialogue between artists of different generations, offering highly
diverse forms of expression and sensitivity. Classic names like Penone, Cattelan
and Hirst are exhibited side by side with young talent such as Urs Fischer, Piotr
Uklanski and Rudolf Stingel, who are introduced in articles by Bonami and Gingeras.

an exhibition about art made in Italy but, more importantly, demonstrates how these
artists have forged new identities from deep roots blossoming in many different
directions. This exhibition is guest curated by Francesco Bonami.

DOGANA DA MÀR.
LA STORIA
Edited by Giandomenico Romanelli
Size 24×28,5
Pages 280
Hardcover with jacket
Release date 2009
Price € 55,00
Giandomenico Romanelli, a member of the new scientific committee of Punta
della Dogana, has curated this book which traces the functional history (as a trading
center) and the iconographic role (in paintings from the 18th century to the present
day) of the building which housed the Dogana da Màr (the customs house for goods
arriving by sea) of the Most Serene Republic of Venice. Romanelli, Paola Rossi
and J.-C. Hoquet tell the story of the building right up to the moment when Tadao
Ando stepped in. His aim was to make Punta della Dogana the third contemporary art
venue in Venice, after the Peggy Guggenheim and Palazzo Grassi.
Designed in the 17th century by Giuseppe Benoni, the building consists of eight bays
with a tower at the tip. On the top of the tower is a large gilt bronze sphere
representing the globe, shouldered by two kneeling Atlas figures, with a statue
of Fortune on the very top. This wedge-shaped building between the Grand Canal
and the Canale della Giudecca, overlooking the Bacino San Marco, commands one
of the finest views in Venice.

The most difficult aspect of this exhibition and its catalogue was to find designers
capable of transforming paper from a mere material into jewellery, The exhibition,
involving 60 designers from all over the world, in an exceptional venture passes
through distant cultures with a single thing in mind: paper. 6 designers (Deep Design,
Marco Ferreri, Giulio Iacchetti, Miriam Mirri, Marco Romanelli with Marta Laudani,
and Paolo Ulian) have designed 6 paper jewels specially for the exhibition, which are
available and ‘ready to wear’, made of special paper inside the catalogue. At the end
of the exhibition, it will set off on an international tour and return to Italy in 2010 to the
Fabriano Paper Museum.

In the ‘image society’, communication is the real interface tool between customers,
market and society. “In the image society, the image is important”, “communicating is
connecting”, “contemporary graphics are design” and “design isn’t a style, it’s an
approach”: these are some of the tenets of the Manifesto drawn up by Ministero della
Grafica (‘Ministry of Graphics’), a cultural promotion association operating in the
sphere of visual communication. It is firmly convinced that the way things appear
influences the relationship between people, objects and actions.
Pizza Grafica (Graphic Pizza) brings together all the designs selected by the ‘Ministry’
from the entries for an open competition involving hundreds of studios and designers:
young and old, large and small, famous and not so well-known. The result is an
instantaneous visual and geographical summary of graphics culture in Italy.

During the period 2005-2008, the Triennale devoted particular energy to developing
its architecture section by launching a program of reflection about subjects
and figures associated with contemporary issues and consolidating a leading image
in the field. The main theme is still that of large exhibitions (for each of which Electa
has published a catalog), which saw the Triennale returning to its tradition of creative
settings, offering a new vision of the art of exhibiting: ‘The Houses of the Triennale’,
‘Good News’, ‘Franco Albini’, ‘Renzo Piano’, ‘Visible Cities’, ‘Possible Cities: Leonidov
and Moscow’ and ‘House for All’. The exhibitions are recorded through photos
and designs of the exhibition premises, together with the concept and catalog
of the (very precious) exhibits in each case.

Pages 896 (2 volumes)
Release date 2009
Price € 70,00
The catalogue brings together the entire contemporary art collection, of works both
on display and in store, acquired by the National Gallery of Modern Art (GNAM) and
the National Gallery of 21st-century art (MAXXI). The time-span examined in the
catalogue ranges from 1958 to 2008, the last 50 years being the period defined by the
law protecting contemporary art. The catalogue, published in two volumes, has been
conceived as an alphabetical list of artists’ names with an analytical index for the
purposes of research. A final section is devoted to works which, due to their specific
characteristics (for example, books by artists), or because of their origin or the way in
which they were acquired (for example ships’ furnishings), demanded treatment
which reflected these differences. The aim of the catalogue is to present the works so
that they can be easily consulted, in a format of scientific charts and individual color
reproductions of each work, covering the more than 1,350 works of contemporary art
in Italy’s national collections.

The Italian Atlas project conceived by DARC periodically brings together several
of the world’s best-known photographers; in this volume they are asked to capture
the processes transforming the face of Italy. Worlds away from the stereotypes
and clichés of that picture-perfect Italy found mostly on postcards, the photographs
in Atlas 2007 reveal a country in rapid evolution: a contradictory vision, but one
that is always emotionally charged, with images of the highest quality. Photographers
for this edition include Massimo Berrutti, Andrea Botto, John Davies, David Farrel,
Alex S. Maclean, Walter Niedermayr, Fabio Ponzio, Marialba Russo, Paul Seawright,
Geroge Tadge, Fulvio Ventura, and Massimo Vitali.

CESARE ZAVATTINI
G. Mastinu, F. Pola
Size 17×24
Pages 160
Hardcover
Release date 2009/2010
Price € 35,00
The nucleus of 200 unpublished works, all exhibited for the first time in Rome,
consists of small paintings on paper executed in the 1940s, found decades later
at the ‘Archivio del Cavallino’. The catalogue of the exhibition looks at Zavattini’s
relationship with collector and gallery-owner Cardazzo, whose Venetian salon
was a sort of intellectual meeting-place for Italian avant-garde artists and writers
of that time, including Zavattini. In 1943, year of the first Cavallino Prize, the artist
was one of the promoters of the ‘Gioco del Paradiso’ (Paradise Game) exhibition,
which included drawings and paintings by Italian writers, including Dino Buzzati,
Antonio Delfini, Eugenio Montale and Leonardo Sinisgalli. Zavattini won first prize,
thus establishing a lasting contract with Cardazzo. The catalogue reveals the acrossthe-board skill of Zavattini who, in terms of vocation and character, was equally gifted
in the media of literature, journalism, painting and, especially, narrative. This unusual
side of “Zavattini in color” is certainly less well-known than the ‘black and white’
version we know from his films, but just as rich in imagination, still able to tell stories,
describe figures and surprise us, even today.

Price € 40,00
Palma Bucarelli, who died in 1998, is remembered as the great dame of Italian art.
Fascinating, enterprising and worldly, she succeeded in managing the only gallery in
Italy devoted to the art of the 19th and 20th centuries with a firm grip and far-sighted
determination. She was appointed superintendent during the dark period of WWII,
in 1942, and succeeded in saving the collection from the air raids. Just two years later,
she re-opened the gallery, had the building restored and set about recalling works
of art, including foreign artworks that had been removed during the Fascist Era.
In the ‘50’s Bucarelli began to make a series of acquisitions: works of the Futurist
movement, by Modigliani, Moranti and Savinio, and Abstract Art from Italy and
abroad. Thanks to important exhibitions of work by great artists such as Picasso,
Mondrian, Pollock, Malevic and Rothko, the gallery was thrown into the spotlight
of the international artistic debate.

VV.AA.
Size 24×28

Release date 2009
Price € 50,00
Concurrent with the great Baroque season which opens at the Capodimonte Museum
in Naples in October 2009, the MADRE (Donna Regina Contemporary Art Museum
in Naples) is organizing an exhibition with the aim of comparing the 17th century,
the period when Baroque painting was at its height, with our own time. On the one
hand, both historical periods have a background of revolutionary scientific discoveries
which have transformed our way of living and thinking and, on the other, have
experienced deep-rooted religious fanaticism. By examining the work of contemporary
artists who are sensitive to this kind of subject, this is an attempt to analyze the spirit
of the time. A scientific committee, comprising historians, critics and experts
of international renown, will give a horizontal slant to the exhibition and, at the same
time, ensure expert curatorship.

Release date 2009
Price € 42,00
A broad overview of the experimental work of the Spanish artist, from the ‘60s to his
most recent creations. Twelve years on from his last exhibition at the Pecci Museum in
Prato, Tuscany, the work of Antoni Tàpies returns to Italy with an important personal
exhibition at the MARCA in Catanzaro. One of the key figures of the post-war period,
Tàpies had a strong influence on artists like Joseph Beuys and Jannis Kounellis.
Through a rigorous selection of paintings, sculptures and installations, in which each
component takes on a concrete and visionary presence, the exhibition aims
to re-discover the persisting influence of the mark made by this Spanish artist,
who has never abandoned his experimental search. The museum will also house
Muri (Walls), a synthesis of his art, of the nomadic journey which, using language
that is permanently precarious and unstable, leads to the Graffitism of the ‘80s.

The fourth Intersections exhibition, which has become a benchmark of ‘contamination’
between contemporary sculpture and archaeology, and a review of important designs
and models from the 1960s to the present day, opens at the MARCA gallery
in Catanzaro, curated by Alberto Fiz. On July 31, Intersections 4, a great exhibition
devoted to the work of Dennis Oppenheim, one of the most important artists of the
contemporary scene, opens in the magical setting of the Archaeological Park
of Scolacium. After the exhibitions held in the three previous years dedicated,
in chronological order, to Tony Cragg, Jan Fabre and Mimmo Paladino, Antony
Gormley and finally Mark Queen, Stephan Balkenhol and Wim Delvoye, Intersections
4 focuses on the brilliant American artist and includes some of his most important
sculptures, for example: Electric Kisses, Splash Building and Safety Cones.
There will also be many new environmental installations, both from his studio in New
York and lent by other private European foundations.

Filippo Tommaso Marinetti’s first manifesto was a violent explosion into an Italy that
was still immersed in the legacy of late-Romantic, 19th-century culture. Speed,
dynamism, action, modernity, together with a disdain for tradition and conventionality
were the values behind the shout of the Futurist movement, which called for the
renewal of Italian society. The weapon they used for their fight was a special kind of
manifesto, to which the exhibition and the catalogue Futurismo Manifesto 100x100,
curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, are dedicated. The authors of the interesting
contributions to the catalogue come from different walks of life. Along with the
curator, the many-faceted and multi-talented Achille Bonito Oliva, they include
historian Lucio Villari, musician-cum-artist Daniele Lombardi, art historian Alessandro
Masi, video artist Vincenzo Capalbo and art historian and curator Francesca Barbi,
who is also the grand-daughter of Martinetti.

KOUNELLIS A SAN LUPO

Pages 96

Hardcover
Release date 2009
Price € 22,00
Kounellis in San Lupo is taking place at the height of the artist’s creative and poetic
career. He can work in places and areas which have profound personal meaning and,
using his unique language, create “unique acts” with great impact and strength of
communication which verge on dramatic art. In this work we can see the return of
coats, vestiges of human presence. Scattered all over a floor under which they once
buried the dead. A huge iron cross is poised inside the building, set at an angle that
imitates and is reminiscent of depictions of Christ carrying the Cross. As always
happens with Kounellis’ works, the artist has created a strong rapport with the setting.

Vanessa Beecroft’s work, now definitely reaching a high visibility in the contemporary
art scene, are only titled with the artist’s initials followed by a progressive number. Her
latest performance, presented at the PAC in Milan, has reached number 65, and once
again these strong images, these memorable tableaux vivants do the talk. For the 1st
time, Beecroft has worked with 20 afroamerican men. Barefooted, wearing old
smokings, sitting at their tables drinking their wine, eating their bread and meat with
no silverware, these immigrants, typically rejectd by civil society, now sit in a museum,
facing a public forced to observe and respect them as a work of art. VB65’s catalogue
boasts Giacinto Di Pietrantonio’s critical text and a rich image content, promoting a
social reflection on the body and the aesthetics of contemporary art.

A theme that is always topical is tackled by the artist from the Aosta Valley in a highly
original way, by depicting images from famous Hollywood films so that they become
the subject or the setting for episodes in the New Testament.
Selecting a single frame, transferring it onto canvas and emphasizing how, when
removed from its context, it is reminiscent of the iconography of an Annunciation, a
Visitation or a Deposition, is an exercise that leads us to reflect on the fundamental
importance that the symbol continues to have within our society. After living for
decades in which chaos has been the name of the game, we are gradually
rediscovering our sense of the sacred and spirituality. As well as exhibiting more than
25 of Ledda’s oil paintings, the project involves a musical accompaniment, created by
the composer from the Aosta Valley, Christian Thoma, who has created a piece
specially for the exhibition. The music is interpreted by some exceptional musicians:
Stefano Battaglia, Eugjen Gargjola, Maria Vicentini, Aya Shimura and Stefano Risso.
The bilingual catalogue in Italian and French contains a criticism by Marina Mojana.

SUBODH GUPTA
VV.AA.
Italian text
Size 32×32
Pages 304
Illustrations 300
Hardcover
Release date 2009
Price € 100,00
Born in Bihar, one of the most important centers of Buddhist teaching, Gupta now
lives in New Delhi. In a sense, the artist’s life, his move from the country to the city, is
an allegory of modern India, where the rural dimension of the village is rapidly bending
to the influence of cosmopolitan culture.
The artist’s monumental sculptures and installations, created by assembling
hundreds of sparkling stainless-steel utensils, reflect the ‘short-circuit’ currently
taking place between archaic and modern culture, between traditions and change.
On the one hand, the monograph, which has two main sections, examines the career
of the artist through an exploration of his work, from his earliest works up to the
present day, and, on the other, it focuses on the exhibition entitled “There is always
cinema”, created by Subodh in the former cinema of San Gimignano, which resulted in
a series of works presented by Galleria Continua.
The book concludes with criticisms by the famed French critic Nicolas Bourriaud and
Italian Elio Grazioli, and an extensive photographic content, most of which is
published here for the first time, with examples of the artist’s extraordinary creations,
made using various everyday utensils and pots and pans.

ALIGHIERO BOETTI
Edited by A.Boetti
Italian text
Size 25×28
Pages 450
Hardcover in case
Release date 2009
Price € 200,00
In the landmark series devoted to general and theme catalogues
about famous artists, the first volume of the series covering
the complete works of Alighiero Boetti examines his creations
from 1962-1971. A master of construction and invention,
whose work is distinguished by a refined sense of conceptual
irony, Alighiero Boetti has spent his whole life conducting
complex research into a variety of themes. This first volume
about the work of the artist from Turin catalogues his works
between 1962 and 1971, a crucial period of in-depth research.
The generative principles which make his soul vibrate, like order
and chaos, randomness and necessity, seeking and finding,
34
the equal and the different, are developed in his work through
materials and procedures which are simple “but of extraordinary
esthetic clarity”. It is especially in the ethics of his artistic
output that Boetti infringes the rules of art, which put artist
and creator on the same level. While he is responsible for the
original idea behind the work, he actually leaves the job
of creating it – as in the case of his famous Maps – to an expert.
A total of four volumes will cover his entire output. After this
volume, in 2010, another will cover Boetti’s works from 1972-1978,
and two more volumes will cover his output in the periods
1979-1985 and 1986-1994.

FAUSTO PIRANDELLO
Edited by C. Gian Ferrari

Size 24×28
Pages 256
Release date 2009
Price € 120,00
The complex and fascinating phisionomy of a top level author, capable like few others
to avoid any classification or label. Fausto Pirandello’s work has been classified by
Claudia Gian Ferrari and Fabrizio D’Amico. Pirandello is considered today one
of the key Italian painters of the 20th century , sharply interpreting existential realism
in a way not found anywhere else in Europe except possibly in Lucian Freud.
Over 650 paintings are classified and certified by the Association for the promotion
of Fausto Pirandello’s life and work. They retrace the artist’s entire body of work:
from the symbolist climate of his first steps to magic realism, to the surrealism
of his Paris period, to the non reality of his between the war Roman time, to war time
realism, to the “concrete abstract” of his last 30 years.

Hardcover in case (2 volumes)
Release date 2008
Price € 140,00
After sculptures and bas-reliefs, a reasoned catalogue of Fausto Melotti’s (1901-1986)
complete graphic oeuvre has finally been produced, detailing work in this field by one
of the leading lights in abstract sculpture who worked in Italy during the 20th century.
The two volumes come complete with reviews by critics Giulio Paolini and Sergio
Risaliti and numerous photos and reproductions of the artist’s works.
Menotti’s background in engineering and music show in the formal purity of his
compositions that blend geometric severity with expressive force. His lightness
of touch and the complexity of his work led author Italo Calvino to define him as the
invisible acrobat. The geometrically-inspired elements, linear figures and absolute
formal purity of Menotti’s style are his hallmark, still arousing interest on the
international art circuit as confirmed by the retrospectives organised by the Italian
Cultural Institute (May 2008) and the New York Acquavella Galleries (April 2008),
together with that at the Milanese Stein Gallery (May 2008).

DIVUS VESPASIANUS
Edited by F. Coarelli
Italian text
Size 27×27
Pages 540
Paperback with flaps in case
Release date 2009
Price € 75,00
Written contributions by leading experts and forceful pictures,
as well as the exhibition in the Amphitheatre and Domus on the
Palatino Hill which are named after the Flavians, reveal the true
face of the Emperors of this dynasty. Vespasian, the elderly
soldier who looked like a peasant and restored peace and political
and economic stability after Nero’s excesses, received
widespread consensus. His son Titus was less fortunate in life
and, thanks to his munificence, known as “delight of the human
race” - a renown that was perhaps underserved given the cruelty
he showed in the destruction of the temple of Solomon in
Jerusalem. However, during his short reign, he had to cope with
the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius. The benefits produced by
Vespasian’s regeneration were quickly lost and the forced tyranny
of Titus’ brother Domitian eventually led to his assassination and
36
damnatio memoriae. The catalogue is divided into three parts: the
first illustrates Vespasian’s ascent to power and the surrounding
events, especially the Great Jewish Revolt. This is followed by
contributions on the Flavian ideology, the portraits of family
members and the historical importance of art and propaganda.
The second part illustrates the construction activity that changed
the face of Rome, from the Colosseum area to the Palatino Hill,
the Forums, the Quirinal and the Campus Martius. Suffice to
remember the Templum Pacis, where people could stroll past the
flower beds, fountains and works of art quietly discussing culture.
The third part focuses on the Flavian government of the Empire,
town planning and architecture outside Rome, the provincial
administration and the Imperial properties, with special reference
to Pompeii. The witnesses of the era were Pliny and Martial.

Resurrection copy
Hardcover
Release date 2009
Price € 75,00
The great collection of Pierre-Jean Mariette is finally being
published in five large volumes, introduced by an anastatic copy
of the book which has allowed it to be reconstructed.
In 1775, when all the items in the collection belonging to PierreJean Mariette came under the hammer at a seemingly endless
auction, an immense collection of incalculable value was
disintegrated – more than 9,000 drawings, all marked with the
Mariette monogram: pencil sketches by Salviati and Rubens,
charcoal drawings by Watteau and others by French, Italian
and Flemish artists ended up by being sucked into the mare
magnum of private collectors.
38
Today, a book kept at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston contains
a description of the works that were auctioned, with illustrations
of the items in the margin by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin (1624-1780).
These drawings in the margin, rapidly executed pencil sketches,
have been very important in reconstructing Mariette’s huge
collection, which dispersed into private and public hands.
The anastatic copy of the book is now presented in its complete
form, in a smaller refined edition, as an introduction to the
broader-ranging work about Pierre-Jean Mariette’s collection. The
five volumes of drawings by French, Italian, Dutch, German and
Flemish artists will be presented to the public from April 2010.

COMMITMENT
WHEN THE WORLD MUST
COME TOGETHER AS ONE
VV.AA.
Size 17×24
Pages 192
Hardcover
Release date 2009
Price € 45,00
These are courageous and intelligent men and women, whose
dedication enhances the value of our very existence. Research
scientists, explorers, geologists, people who live for their work,
unknown to any of us – yet, they are working for all of us. People
who penetrate the Earth and work in parts of the world still
covered in ice, far away from civilization. Their work is devoted to
our planet, Earth, which is always under threat. Because our
planet, like every asset we own, must be protected. Science
means thinking about the future. Science means operating
silently, making sacrifices, living with a sole aim – tomorrow. We
only become aware of this important work when we talk to
someone who knows about it and is willing to talk about it – and
only very rarely can we express our gratitude.
54
The book looks at the history of commitment through well-known
faces from the past: John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and
Mahatma Gandhi. Today, the history of commitment is at a critical
stage – a stage that is brimming with emergency, attention and
responsibility. This stage focuses on the question of the
environment. The book contains testimonials about the
environment from important figures like Bob Dylan, HRH Prince
Charles, Leonardo Di Caprio, Al Gore and many others. They
express their hopes – some sensible, some far-fetched – and
suggest projects for the race against time, and against the
increasing heat of the sun, against forces which are beyond
human control. And yet, always, this is about the commitment of
people who are fighting our battle for us.

Release date 2009
fashion & design
Price € 250,00
A cult designer for collectors of modern antiques, Piero Fornasetti was a brilliant
and prolific creator and his art, decoration, interior design and design production has,
at last, been brought together and documented for the first time in a comprehensive
book that contains the immense output of a rebellious mind that went totally against
convention. His son, Barnaba Fornasetti, continues his father’s work with tools and
methods preserved over the years, and has helped create an iconographic archive
of amazing substance and value. 2800 illustrations have given rise to a sort of “artist’s
book” with a most original graphic design that paints the closest picture possible
of Fornasetti’s creativity and modus operandi. The first of two sizeable volumes
contains biographical notes and the most significant works he produced in the artistic
field: paintings, sculptures, engravings, furnishings, interiors, graphic design, textile
production (scarves and fashion fabrics) and glass. The second tome is, instead,
devoted to the design and decoration of objects, from furniture to screens, panels and
ceramics, retracing the history of the atelier from its foundation to the present day.
KILIM
Tessuti piani d’oriente
Edited by T. Sabahi
Italian text
Size 25×32
Pages 352
Release date 2009
Price € 130,00
The kilim is an unwritten document that can be read by interpreting the symbolism
of the forms reproduced in its fabric. In the history of carpets, these geometric
patterns, which are inextricably linked to the weaving technique, have evolved,
resulting in ever-more sophisticated and complex designs, reflecting the traditions
of the various tribal communities that create them, together with their religion
and particular set of beliefs and superstitions. The book examines the history of these
carpets, in a detailed and searching way, thanks to the knowledge of Taher Sabahi
and the expertise gained by him over many years working in the sector.
The introduction looks at the origins and the development of flat fabrics, the most
significant archaeological discoveries in this field, how they were used and their
technical aspects. The book looks at different areas of production and workshops,
which, together with a rich series of illustrations, offers an overview of the main types
of kilim, with examples from all over the world.

INSTALLATION EXHIBIT
Edited by Italo Rota
Size 21×23
Pages 442
Paperback
Release date 2009
Price € 55,00
A tracking shot on the works of an architect who knows how to play on the sensitivity
of his audience. Emotional crisis, taught nerves and hence a predisposition to
perceive in a much more complex way than normal. These, Rota admits, are the
emotions which he hopes to provoke in spectators who visit his projects. Installations
that can emotionally shock people and raise their levels of sensitivity. And, to achieve
this, he uses color made of light, transparencies, screens and projections (never
material, painted color), an exceptional tool and, to him, vital for conveying detailed
messages in the best possible way, because of the processes it stimulates in the
brain. Increasingly working in the sphere of magic rather than the sphere of the useful,
Italian Italo Rota’s flair for design, working abroad and communicating at an
international level is described in this unique publication. The book also considers
the playful side of the projects he has undertaken, creating games for adults with just
a touch of magic, fun and sophistication.

Release date 2009
Price € 40,00
Capable of translating her imagination into images, and making those images into
architecture, in 2004, Zaha Hadid was the first woman to be awarded the prestigious
Pritzker Prize. Courageous and with a strong language that cannot be defined by any
traditional architectural label, Zaha Hadid has constantly challenged the recognized
limits of architecture, town-planning and design, creating works with complex spatial
entities, rembodying a dynamism and a fluidity that always relates to the landscape
and the geology of the site. Her designs are acclaimed examples of a kind of
architecture that transforms the idea of the future through unexplored spatial concepts
and visionary forms. Her current projects include the National Museum of 21st-century
Art in Rome. In 2009, the two-yearly International Barbara Cappochin Architecture
Exhibition in Padua is devoting a whole exhibition to the work of this British citizen
of Iraqi extraction. Soft lines which are more typical of painting and sculpture,
the preparatory moments before she creates the design, constituent parts of the
building which appear not to create a proper dialog and, more particularly, flexible
materials, able to bend to meet any kind of transformation requirement are the
elements of an imaginative language that never strays away from the path of precision.

At the dawn of the new millennium, what sort of state is the planet Earth in?
A review of 170 photographs illustrates the state of the planet in a dual format.
On the one hand, it shows the wonders of the world and its splendid natural
environments and, on the other, how humans interact with Nature and how it has
been contaminated by them. A journey across the continents from Alaska to Brazil,
passing through New Caledonia to show how the Coeur de Voh, the heart-shaped
forest made famous by Arthus-Bertrand Yann’s photograph, has been burnt
and reduced to a pile of dead branches. To what extent are human activities having
a negative influence, upsetting the natural equilibrium and spoiling our landscapes?
This book, making a remarkable visual impact, follows the thinking of Al Gore, Nobel
Peace Prize-winner in 2007. His message is to regard climate change as a real danger
in terms of the future of our planet, and introduces a change of perspective
with regard to safeguarding the Earth and saving energy. To raise awareness of this
problem, Luca Bracali’s splendid photographs, with editing support from Chilean
photographer Patricio Estay, portray the devastation wrought by human hands.

Luigi Amedeo di Savoia (1873-1933), duke of Abruzzi, is a unique figure among
explorers. He was a protagonist of European mountain climbing toward the end of the
1800s, and one of the forerunners of the extreme challenges of the extra-European
peaks: after having made historic ascents in the Alps, he was the first to conquer
Mount Saint’Elia in Alaska, he explored the Ruwenzori range in Africa, and guided
a legendary expedition to Karakorum and K2, which in 1909 set the record for the
highest altitude reached by man. Reinhold Messner retraces the adventures of this
legendary figure, which are not limited to mountain climbing, but also include a historic
expedition to the North Pole in 1899-1900, reaching the maximum Arctic latitude, and
two circumnavigations of the earth by sea. Thanks to its extraordinary photographs,
including many by the well-known photographer Vittorio Sella, the narrative closely
follows the individual feats, described in essential texts and accompanied by excerpts
from the official expedition reports and documents of the period.

Most of Marina Cicogna’s photographic career has been that of a far from ordinary
person as she is the grand-daughter of Count Volpi, a former Governor of Libya
and founder of the first ever film festival (Venice Festival, Volpi Cup) in 1932.
This eclectic countess grew up surrounded by stars and, in 1967, became a film
producer with Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto and La classe
operaia va in paradiso . The success of these two films marked the beginning
of a long list of Italian and French film productions including Teorema, Medea,
C’era una volta il West, Una stagione in inferno, Bella di giorno, Il cerchio rosso,
Il conformista, Ultimo Tango a Parigi, Portiere di notte. The exhibition is designed
by Dante Ferretti and held in the splendid Villa Medici in Rome. A play on opulence
and theatricality, it comprises a selection of approximately 80 pictures, all in black
and white, portraying actors and celebrities of the days of the Dolce Vita.
The pictures reveal her personal relationships and friendships with the subjects
of the photographs, often caught in unofficial moments. The graphic design
is delightful and original. As well as texts by Marina Cicogna, it includes written pieces
by exceptional friends such as Jeanne Moreau, Calvin Klein and Dacia Maraini.

Published in collaboration with Medusa, Electa tells the tale of the film through
a collection of fascinating stills. A special section is dedicated to the backstage,
with previously unpublished shots of the director and actors at work.
The film is set against the background of Bagheria, or Baaria, as the Sicilians
call it. It was made on location in Tunisia, with over 20 thousand extras
and a huge set reconstructing the original town, a nostalgic film reminiscent
of the “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso”. The story tells the tale of three generations
from the same family and spans the heart of the 20th century. Actors include
Lina Sastri, Enrico Lo Verso, Vincenzo Salemme, Leo Gullotta, Nino Frassica,
Raoul Bova and Monica Bellucci. The score is by Ennio Morricone.

Italy’s leading living set designer, Dante Ferretti, has an impressive career behind
him. Having received six Oscar nominations, he was awarded the coveted prize
for the first time in 2005 for the film made with Martin Scorsese, The Aviator,
and again in 2008 with Tim Burton’s film Sweeney Todd: a consecration
at an international level that placed the seal on a career full of distinguished
achievements. The aim of this new, smaller-size edition, with updated and
expanded content, is to trace Ferretti’s artistic career, which began in Italy in the
1960s. His career led him to work with the greatest film directors, from Pasolini to
Fellini, with whom he created close professional ties. The book includes Ferretti’s
most recent works, for example a preview of Shutter Island, Martin Scorsese’s
latest film with Leonardo Di Caprio, due for release in the U.S.A. this autumn,
and Brian De Palma’s The Black Dahlia, featuring the neo-star Scarlett Johansson.

From the first faltering steps of town-planning in Rome to
Hadrian’s Villa. Two of the world’s greatest experts on ancient
architecture have come up with a book that covers the entire
history of the city, from the foundation of Rome to the time when
it reached its zenith, resulting in monuments which have helped
to shape Western culture. Top international scholars were involved
in the project. The book they helped to write, and which we now
present, definitively broadens the scope of the “History of Italian
Architecture” series. It is the prelude to other books which, in
years to come, will guide readers through the centuries between
the Fall of the Roman Empire and the 15th century. The chapters
of the book leave no stone unturned with regard to the research
conducted by von Hesberg and Zanker. The first chapters about
the first efforts at town-planning are followed by essays about the
80
Rome of Julius Caesar and Augustus, the great basilicas (of
Maxentius, Emilia and Julia), the theater of Marcellus and the
Coliseum, and the Pantheon.
In addition to these, other chapters explain how the various Fora
came to be built and transformed in order to assume the layout we
know today; how the city was organized; where the residential
areas were, their shops and public places, the streets that crossed
them; how the various services were organized which made it
possible to live in the city; how the cult areas were distributed and
organized and the rituals that marked the pace of public and
private life. The final part of the book is devoted to memory, in
other words, the ways in which the story told in this book
continues to influence our relationship with past time and the time
in which we live, once it becomes part of the ‘modern cult of ruins’.

The book examines the most important chashitsu (tea
houses/rooms) and, where they exist, the roji (simple gardens
with a path and a water basin) where they are located. These
simple, traditional rooms and gardens were conceived and built
by Japanese masters, specifically for the tea ceremony, from the
15th century onwards, Unusual places for meditation are some of
the most important sources for medieval and modern Japanese
esthetics. The text by Francesco Montagna, who provides an
introduction to concepts and images that are deeply rooted in
Japanese culture, starts the book by illustrating the specific and
unusual nature of the place conceived for the tea ceremony.
A whole chapter is devoted to the actual tea ceremony (chanoyu).

The various phases of the tea ceremony are described in detail,
simple gestures which became a formal ritual. The book ends
with a contribution from Masao Nakamura, the world’s foremost
expert in this field. He traces the history of the chashitsu and the
Tea Route, Full-size photographs by Tadahiko Hayashi, one of
Japan’s leading photographers of the second half of the 20th
century, together with a large number of drawings illustrate a
selection of 20 tea houses, many of which have become part of
the national heritage. For the first time, this comprehensive work
presents Japanese tea houses, considered from every angle, for
the Western reader to enjoy. The book also contains
bibliographies, a glossary and a list of photographs.

50 years after his death, the book provides a new, complete and
detailed description of the life and work of Ivan Léonidov through
a collection of essays and documents. It reconsiders his creative
and professional career, and examines how it fits into the Russian
and international architectural context.
An exhaustive and extraordinary series of illustrations from the
Russian archives where the architect’s work is kept, many of
which are published here for the first time, give an insight into his
designs and the artistic and creative career of one of the leading
exponents of Russian design culture in the 20th century.
Based on recent research, the book examines all Ivan Léonidov’s
designs, from the first projects which brought him fame when he
had just left Vkhutemas, the Moscow Art School, to the projects
84
which accompanied his work and research in the 1940s and
1950s. Having won international recognition with his degree
thesis (1927) – the never executed Lenin Institute – and rapidly
imposed himself as an icon of architecture in the new USSR,
Léonidov was the target of fierce criticism, due to his
experimentalism and the radically innovative nature of his
designs, in the form of highly elaborate graphics. This criticism of
the early 1930s marked a turning-point in his career. However, his
design work continued intensively and, in the following years,
became very successful, developing along lines that interpreted
and re-interpreted the dictates of ‘socialist realism’, in a way that
was very unusual and far removed from the prevailing form of
classical historicism.

Satoshi Okada (born Hyogo, 1962) qualified in architecture
in 1989 at Columbia University in New York and has been
responsible for various projects which mark him as one of the
greatest designers of recent generations, and not only in Japan.
His single-family houses, in particular, many of which were
built on very small lots of urban land, are strikingly simple,
yet have a severe elegance, characteristics which re-appear
in works like the houses in the prefectures of Kanagawa,
Shizuoka and Yamanashi, as well as in Tokyo and on Mount Fuji.

Since the late 1990s, Okada has also tackled large-scale themes
like the complex for the Millennium Park in the prefecture
of Chiba, a dental clinic in Sendai, and the agricultural center
at Takashima, confirming his vocation of interpreting design as
an rigorous exercise. Humility and purity, according to Kenneth
Frampton, who wrote the introduction, are the characteristics
of the designs and beautiful spaces created by Okada.
This book enables us to appreciate their consistently high quality
and originality.

This slim monographic volume by the architectural historian
Federico Bucci describes the most important achievements of
Franco Albini’s architectural career. Born at Robbiate, near Como
in 1905, he graduated at the Milan Politecnico in 1929 and began
to work as a professional architect in 1930. During the years
between the two world wars, he was very active in the sectors
of furnishings and exhibition interiors for the Triennale and the
Milan Trade Fair. In Milan, along with Renato Camus and
Giancarlo Palanti, in line with ideas and types favored by the
Rationalist avant-garde movement, he worked on the “Fabio Filzi”
(1936-38), “Gabriele D’Annunzio” and “Ettore Ponti” (1939)
council housing programs. In the field of design, he also designed
the ‘Securit’ metal and glass radio-receiver (1938) and the
‘Veliero’ bookcase with a tensile structure of wood and steel wire
90
(1940). After WWII he participated in the renovation of some
of Italy’s museums, especially Palazzo Bianco (1949-51), Palazzo
Rosso (1952-62) and the Treasury of San Lorenzo (1952-56)
in Genoa. He also tackled the theme of placing buildings in
natural and urban contexts, for example the Pirovano
Hotel-cum-Refuge at Cervinia (1948-52), and the new INA offices
in Parma (1952-54). Along with Franca Helg, who became an
associate of his studio in 1952, he designed the La Rinascente
department store in Rome (1957-1961), the stations for the Milan
underground (1962-1969) and the SNAM building at San Donato
Milanese (1969-72). In 1949 he began teaching interior design
at the Architecture Department of the University of Venice and,
after 1965, taught architectural composition at the Milan
Politecnico. He died in Milan in 1977.

Price € 24,00
The book, written in the dense, analytical style of Antonio
Monestiroli, sets out to describe the work of Ignazio Gardella
in the Milanese cultural and architectural scene. Gardella (b. Milan
1905 - d. Oleggio, Novara 1999) graduated in engineering at the
Milan Politecnico in1928, and, in 1949, in architecture at the
University of Venice, where he held the chair from 1962 to 1975.
In 1947, he participated in the first INU Congress. From 1952 until
1956, along with Samonà, Rogers and Albini, he organized the
CIAM School in Venice. In 1959 he was a member of the Italian
delegation that attended the last CIAM Congress in Otterlo. The
book takes a critical look at Gardella’s work in the field of design,
starting with early projects like the competition for a Tower
in Piazza Duomo in 1934, the Anti-Tuberculosis Dispensary
(1933-38) and the Provincial Hygiene and Prevention Office
in Alessandria (1933-39) and goes on examine the projects
designed in the 1950s and 1960s: the Contemporary Art Pavilion
(1951), the “House in the Park” and the house in the Giardini
d’Ercole (1951) in Milan; Casa Borsalino (1950) in Alessandria;
the Regina Isabella Spa building (1950-54) on Ischia; the “Casa
alle Zattere” (1953-58) in Venice; the Canteen and the Olivetti
Recreation Center (1954-58) in Ivrea. Some of the most
important projects towards the end of Gardella’s career include:
the Palace of Justice at La Spezia (1963-94); the design for the
competition for the Civic Theater in Vicenza (1st prize, 1969); the
building for the Technical Offices of Alfa Romeo at Arese (196874); the Carlo Felice Theater (1981-90) and the headquarters of
the Faculty of Architecture in Genoa (1975-89). Gardella received
many public acknowledgements over the years, including the
Gold Medal awarded by the Italian President (1977) and, in 1996,
the Leone d’Oro for his life’s work at the Venice Biennale.

TADAO ANDO
FOR FRANÇOIS PINAULT
F. Dal Co
Size 24×28,5
Pages 280
Release date 2009
Price € 55,00
François Pinault, the French businessman and magnate, chose
the Dogana da Mar as the location for the new Punta della Dogana
Contemporary Art Center. The original version dates from the
15th century. Currently it is being restored under the supervision
of Tadao Ando, who began by restoring Palazzo Grassi and is now
continuing his work in Venice. A common thread runs through the
old buildings he restores, never exaggerating, with an ever- fresh,
different approach, giving them a contemporary function and
appearance. The book tells the story of the ‘conservative but
unblinkered’ restoration work conducted by the Japanese
architect, but also looks in depth at the beginnings of the project.
It is regarded as the child of a ‘father’ (‘without whom it would not
be possible’, in the words of Renaissance architect Filarete),
namely the man who commissioned it, and a ‘mother’, the

architect who created it. Ando has been restrained in his
approach to the Punta della Dogana, conserving the strong
character of the building and respecting the original architectural
features. In keeping with the past and in line with the present,
Ando has designed alternating reinforced concrete baffles which
split up the exhibition space and, in contrast, highlight the
materials and features of the original building. The book,
beautifully illustrated with photographs showing the gradual
development of the project right up to its completion, contains
interviews with the commissioner and the architect. The vision
of contemporary art and architecture in the modern world finds
a useful and coherent application in the work of Tadao Ando
and Pinault’s new exhibition in Venice which, with the inauguration
of the new gallery, will become its permanent home.

The book provides an opportunity to focus our attention on
recent developments in the Swiss architectural debate, through
a selection of residential buildings created in the last few years
by both emerging young architects and others of international
renown. The selection of detached villas on which the book
focuses shows the variety of language, the diversity of approach
and nuances, where homologizing trends and centripetal
impulses co-exist, with the aim of emphasizing the specific
character of places and their territorial identity.
Pragmatism, consistency and precision in construction, technical
perfection, accuracy of detail and simplicity, are just some of the
topoi which inevitably emerge when considering the
characteristics of Swiss architecture and its hypothetical
‘Swissness’, which is in continual confrontation with modernism
on the one hand and tradition on the other.

The theme of the house or villa, whether detached or multiresidence, from the typical Swiss chalet to the well-known
examples of residential building designed by the avant-garde
architects of 1920s and 1930s – Le Corbusier, Hans Schmidt,
Rudolf Steiger and Flora Steiger-Crawford, Ernst F. Burckhardt
and Lux Guyer, Max Ernst Haefeli, Hans Fischli, Werner Max
Moser, Otto Salvisberg, Alfred Roth and Alberto Sartoris –
constitutes a particularly fertile field for constructive and formal
experimentation, resulting in a varied legacy to which today’s
design research in residential buildings is undoubtedly indebted.
The houses selected were designed by: Arnaboldi,
Burkhalter+Sumi, Eckert+Eckert, Ferrari, Geninasca,
Gigon+Guyer, Graber+Steiger, Gut+Gijzen, Kerez, Koenz+Molo,
Marques, Radczuweit, Salvi, Snozzi, Wagner, Wespi+deMeuron
and Zech.
