Ten New Art Books: From Valentino's Epic to Portable Exhibitions
A recent release of ten art books reimagines the book as a venue for exhibitions. Studiofaganel has introduced three titles: 'Emotional Geographies' by Tomaso Clavarino, curated by Matteo Balduzzi, showcases 12 large-format posters; 'Viewfinders' by Matteo Girola features low-resolution images from manuals accompanied by text from Luca Panaro; and 'GORIZIA/NOVA GORICA' by Stefano Ciol and Marco Citron delves into architecture, with writing by Fulvio Dell'Agnese. Edited by Massimo Fusillo, 'Susan Sontag (A-Z)' surveys her contributions across different art forms. 'La vertigine delle liste', curated by Maria Cristina Regali and Nicoletta Trotta, examines lists through manuscripts. Taschen presents 'A Grand Italian Epic' on Valentino Garavani and 'Ralph Gibson 1960-2024', reflecting on the photographer's journey. Federico Pacini's 'Mostra' prioritizes display over explanation, while Gili Merin's 'Analogous Jerusalem' serves as a travel journal.
