10 New Art Books: From Mario Dondero to Carlos Bunga
A recent release of ten art books features monographs on photographers Mario Dondero and Giovanni Chiaramonte, as well as contemporary artists Carlos Bunga and Alessandra Calò, alongside various museum catalogues. Electa has launched an updated edition of Mario Dondero's work (born 1928, Milan), showcasing his 1959 photograph of Nouveau Roman authors and his reportage from Africa. Claudio Gobbi's 'La visione trasparente' (Silvana Editoriale, 88 pp., €25) discusses the concept of photographic dematerialization. Katia Golovko's 'Dakar' (Quinlan, 20 pp., €35) is included in the 20×24 series. Additionally, Electa offers a detailed monograph on Giovanni Chiaramonte (400 pp., €55) and other notable titles like 'Mappa-mondo' (Dario Cimorelli Editore, 152 pp., €30) and Carlos Bunga's 'Against the Extravagance of Desire' (Artphilein Editions, 160 pp., €32.95).
