Contemporary Photography from North-Western Europe
Through more than seventy works by nineteen artists, the volume describes some of the most interesting research conducted in the field of photography in North- West Europe in recent decades. Using different languages, from the landscape to the portrait, from staged photography to the snapshot, by way of reportage and installations, the artists selected explore some of the most urgent topics that reality brings to our attention, and investigate issues linked to the history of the medium and the nature of contemporary images. The same richness also connotes the group of artists who are emerging on the international scene, and who are placed alongside some of the most famous names in photography.
Kenro Izu
Images of religious spaces from around the world.
Mimmo Jodice
Through the evocative images of one of the most illustrious Italian masters of photography, a journey back in time to the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean. This new monographic work on Mimmo Jodice (Naples, 1934) presents the large-scale survey of the Mediterranean, with which the artist has been enchanting viewers throughout the world for over thirty years. A sequence of fifty photographic works, some never previously published, reconstructs the image of the civilizations that marked the ancient history of the sea the Romans called mare nostrum. Temples and statues, heroes and myths live again in a timeless dimension where past and present coexist.

Gabriele Basilico
A collection of over 300 black and white pictures from 1984 to 1999. Streets, signs and billboards, cars and urban furnishings, bridges and roads, trains and railway stations, ships. Basilico arranges them all in such a way that seems to substitute order to chaos and to redistribute metropolitan volumes.
Axel Hutte: Ghosts and Reality
A photographic tour of Venice and the alpine region A collection of previously unreleased photographs by the German artist shot over the past three years, from Venice to the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. A photographer of the so-called Düsseldorf School, Axel Hutte trained under Bernd Becher with Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff, Candida Hofer, and Andreas Gursky. This volume presents two series of photographs. The first illustrates the author's journey from Germany to Italy, a sort of retracing of the nineteenth-century Grand Tour: from Alpine passes surrounded by snowy summits to Apennine peaks. The second explores Venice and the interiors of some of its best-known palazzi through color and black-and-white photographs.
Ansel Adams Versus Vittorio Sella
Ansel Adams Versus Vittorio Sella collects the mountain photography of the two master photographers in a catalog that, for the first time, emphasizes their close similarity. Adams and Sella resembled one another not only in their ideas, but also in the importance they ascribed to technical expertise and in-depth knowledge of their medium. This beautiful volume includes 50 prints by Ansel Adams and nearly 50 works by Sella, drawn from the first exhibition to present the work of both artists.
Basilico
Cityscape photographer Gabriele Basilico's photographs of global cities from Milan to Beirut This book gathers the most important series by Italian photographer Gabriele Basilico (1944-2013), one of the best-known urban photographers in the world. Published in conjunction with a retrospective in Rome, this monograph presents contributions by Roberta Valtorta, Marc Augé, Luca Doninelli, Giovanna Calvenzi and Filippo Maggia.
Nobuyoshi Araki: Polarnography
"Polarnography is a collection of 100 previously unpublished Polaroid pictures by Nobuyoshi Araki in 2016, in which portraits of women and expanses of sky are given equal space, their matching being never random. The controversial nudes of Japanese women bound with the kinbaku technique made him famous all over the world, just as his visceral love for the city of Tokyo, celebrated in many of his photography series and publications - from Tokyo Lucky Hole to Tokyo Diary, Tokyo Novel or Suicide in Tokyo. Women and sky not only share the traditional Polaroid format but complement one another, both in forms and colours: 100 combinations for 100 unique, previously unpublished and unrepeatable works. The 100 Polaroids by the Japanese master are reproduced in facsimile and gathered in a box which is, in turn, the facsimile of the one that contained the original photographs. The rhetorical composition between Polaroid and Pornography obviously lies at the heart of the title Polarnography."--Container box
