Five New Art Books: From Ron Mueck's Catalogue Raisonné to Giulio Paolini's Idem
A review covers five new art publications: 'Sclavanie' by Davide Degano (Faganel, 2023, €40) delves into the Italy-Slovenia border and coincides with his exhibition at Museo della Fotografia friulano in Udine, which runs until February. Domitilla Dardi's works, 'Herbaria' and 'Bestiaria' (24Ore Cultura, 2023, €65 each), focus on the evolution of flora and fauna from medieval to modern artists. Since 2022, Dardi has served as Senior Curator for Design at MAXXI. The bilingual catalogue raisonné of Ron Mueck (b. 1958) accompanies his exhibition at Triennale Milano, showcasing 48 pieces, including 'Mass' (2017). Electa has reissued Giulio Paolini's 'Idem' (originally published April 1975, now €25) for Italo Calvino's centenary, featuring Calvino's preface and new insights.
