Abstract: Catalogue of an exhibition held at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum October 7, 1994-January 22, 1995 and at two subsequent museums. This book, published on the occasion of a major exhibition mounted by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, celebrates the flowering of Italian creativity in the twenty-five year period that began with the fall of the Fascist regime. The Italian Metamorphosis, 1943-1968 is the first book to bring together all aspects of Italian visual culture from this fascinating period. Through seventeen scholarly essays and hundreds of lavish full-color and duotone reproductions, this volume captures the era's greatest achievements in the fields of painting, sculpture, artists' crafts, literature, photography, cinema, fashion, architecture, and design. Also included are translations of major manifestos written by artists and critics, as well as an extensive chronology encompassing the cultural and political history of the period.

Milano, Skira 2013, cm.21x30, pp.568, 500 illustrazioni a colori. brossura legatura cartonata copertina figurata. Collana Cataloghi. Published on the occasion of his major anthology at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, this catalogue gathers a number of works by the renowned British artist. "A journey from the origins of life" that, according to the artist, through very powerful works celebrates "the awe and wonder of the world in which we live." Marc Quinn began his career exploring issues such as the relation between art and science, the human body and its survival mechanisms, life and its preservation, beauty and death. Through an essay-interview of the artist with Germano Celant, the volume offers in-depth insight into Quinn's conceptual practice that incorporates sculpture, painting and installations. The artist's preoccupation with the metamorphic ability of both human life and nature points to his fascination with our innate spirituality. Quinn questions the codes of nature through his adoption of uncompromising materials such as ice, blood, marble, glass, and lead. Through the use of such materials, his works are at once poetic and confrontational through their exploration of life, death, sexuality, and religion. Quinn transforms the very act of seeing by forcing viewers to question what is around them, pushing them into the unknown in order to rediscover life.

#277566 Design
Edizione italiana e inglese. Milano, Skira 2009, cm.24,5x28,5, pp.338, ill a colori. brossura copertina figurata a colori. La mobilità e l'elasticità, l'aggressività e la felinità di un animale, con il suo corpo striato e sinuoso, sono le qualità che Enrico Baj intendeva dare ai suoi mobili, per farli vivere in una dimensione seducente, quanto mostruosa. I "mobili animati", realizzati tra il 1960 e il 1962, sono dipinti che fanno ricorso a frammenti di legno e di tessuti, di decoro e di rivestimento recuperati da mobili d'epoca. Nella loro materialità e nel loro stile evocano un gusto borghese, a cui l'artista irride, mentre propongono un oggetto pittorico che, mettendo insieme mediante l'assemblage e il collage, stoffe e maniglie, ebanisterie e pomi, specchi e impiallacciature, diventa una variazione fantastica e gioiosa di fare arte.
