Six New Art Books: From Falcone and Borsellino to documenta
A collection of six newly released art books features the following titles: Tony Gentile's photography capturing Sicilian judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino; Paolo Cirio's 'Monitoring Control,' which delves into surveillance; Maria Chiara Ciaccheri's 'Museum Accessibility by Design'; 'Molière en costumes,' focused on theatrical attire; Alfredo Accatino's novel 'La linea e l'ombra,' set in the Bauhaus; and 'Lumbung Stories,' associated with documenta fifteen. These works are published by Silvana Editoriale, Nero, Rowman & Littlefield, 5 Continents, Giunti, and Cassava Republic Press. Gentile's 'Sicilia 1992. Luce e memoria' includes a photograph from 1992, introduced by Ferdinando Scianna, while Cirio's book complements his FMAV exhibition, and Ciaccheri's text advocates for a systematic approach to accessibility in museums.
