Six New Art Books: From Lady Tarin to Jackson Pollock

A roundup of six recently published art books covers diverse topics: a monograph on erotic photographer Lady Tarin, the first biography of Elio Fiorucci by those who knew him, a study of video art in the 1980s generation, a legal analysis of the art market, a guide to industrial tourism in Italy, and a children's book on Jackson Pollock. The volume 'To be played' by Jessica Bianchera and Marta Ferretti, published by Scripta Edizioni, documents a project on video and moving image among the 1980s generation, initiated with a 2019 exhibition at Giardino Giusti during ArtVerona. 'Luminous Phenomena – Tarin – Vol. 1' by NFC Edizioni, released September 2020, features critical texts by Nathalie Leleue and Denis Curti. 'Saggi di diritto del mercato dell'arte' edited by Fabio Dell'Aversana (Siedas, 2020) takes an interdisciplinary approach to art market law. 'Caro Elio' by Franco Marabelli (Rizzoli/Mondadori Electa, 2020) is the first monograph on Fiorucci created with people who knew him personally and professionally. 'Guida al turismo industriale' by Jacopo Ibello (Morellini Editore, 2020) covers nearly 300 industrial heritage sites across Italy. 'Jackson Pollock. Dripping Dance' by Federica Chezzi and Angela Partenza (Pacini Fazzi, 2020) is the first volume in the ALT! series, telling Pollock's story from Wyoming to New York.
