Artribune's 2016 Art Book Roundup: From Pollock-Krasner Grants to Limited Editions
In its year-end feature for 2016, Artribune showcases five notable artist books. A grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation has been awarded for a bilingual monograph on Filippo La Vaccara, written by Mercedes Auteri and released by Allemandi. The publication critiques Italian institutions for their insufficient support in comparison to their US counterparts. Another highlighted work, 'Frammenti' by Piero Mastroberardino, combines twelve poems with visual art, produced in a limited run of 330 copies by ilfilodipartenope. 'ED/MN Edited by Maurizio Nannucci' chronicles five decades of the artist's oeuvre, published by Viaindustriae and Colli. Additionally, Gastone Novelli's 'Voyage en Grèce' is reissued by Trente-trois morceaux, while Renato Ranaldi's 'Scioperíi' coincides with a solo exhibition at Galleria Il Ponte, published by Gli Ori.
