Piero Manzoni
Newly translated writings on art from the Italian arte povera provocateur Featuring a luxurious faux-leather binding, Piero Manzoni: Writings on Art features 25 texts by the Italian artist Piero Manzoni (1933-63), spanning from 1956 to 1963, the year of the artist's premature death by heart attack. Writing during the Italian economic miracle of the '50s and '60s, Manzoni's essays and manifestos represent his response to the state of midcentury Italian art and art writing. Selected by art historian Gaspare Luigi Marcone, all writings have been either translated into English for the first time or newly translated. Each text is accompanied by extensive archival images and contextualized with editorial commentary. The book features a foreword by the Piero Manzoni Foundation's director, Rosalia Pasqualino di Marineo, and a newly commissioned essay by one of today's best-known art historians, Benjamin H.D. Buchloh.
Piero Manzoni
A new monograph charting the entire career of the post-war Italian artist Piero Manzoni (1933 - 1963). Piero Manzoni was the enfant terrible of the post-war Italian avant-garde before his untimely death in Milan at the age of just twenty-nine in 1963. Curated by Germano Celant, the artists' premier scholar and author of the two editions of the Manzoni catalogues raisonné (Milan, 1975 and Milan, 2004), this stunning catalogue spans Manzoni's entire oeuvre, including works belonging to the Manzoni Archives as well as several international museums and private collections.
Piero Manzoni
Piero Manzoni was one of the most radically inventive artists of the twentieth century whose work continues to challenge the definitions of artistic sovereignty and virtuosity to this day. Immediately upon his death in 1963 at the age of thirty, Piero Manzoni’s reputation as a provocateur and wild child preceded him, with his most subversive work, Artist’s Shit, 1961, elevating him to cult status. But what actually came before, and lay behind those thirty grams of pure artistic output? Flaminio Gualdoni sets out to explore exactly that in this biography that traces the guiding themes of Manzoni’s works, lending order to a jumble of hitherto fragmented materials and setting aside any apocryphal hypotheses.

Piero Manzoni
Few artists have combined conceptual ingenuity with devastating critique as deftly and wittily as Piero Manzoni (1933-1963). Fifty years after his death at the tender age of 29, Manzoni remains unsurpassed as a provocateur: his Artist's Breathand Artist's Shiteditions, which now sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars, are unanswerable satirical attacks on art-world economics and values, and his designations of various persons (such as Umberto Eco and Marcel Broodthaers) as "living artworks" prefigure many strains in performance art. Manzoni thus effected some of the most decisive paradigm shifts in postwar art, something for which he is only rarely given full credit. This comprehensive su...

Piero Manzoni - the Twin Paintings
Spotlighting two iconic ?Achrome? paintings from the late 1950s by renowned Italian artist Piero Manzoni (1933-1963), this publication provides an in-depth portrait of the artist?s radical series. His series of ?Achromes? - literally translated as ?without color? or ?neutral?, initially with gesso and then with kaolin and creased canvases in 1957 and 1958 - mark the development of an entirely new visual language and reframing of artistic interpretation. His tireless quest to understand the artist?s role in the art making process prompted conceptual leaps and experiments in early performance art.

The Manzoni Family
Set in ducal Italy and post-revolutionary France, The Manzoni Family tells a rich story of passions, writing, rivalries, deaths, and war. It pivots on the figure of Alessandro Manzoni, celebrated Milanese nobleman, man of letters, and author of the masterpiece of nineteenth-century Italian literature, I promessi sposi (The Betrothed). But the tale begins with the matriarchal figure of Giulia, the mother whom the young poet found in Paris after she had abandoned him as an infant. There is Enrichetta, the woman he and his mother chose to be his wife, and the many children she had by him until her death; literary friends from the beau monde in Italy and Paris; and Alessandro's second wife, Teresa, and her children. Against the background of Napoleonic occupation, the reestablishment of Austrian hegemony, and the stirrings of the revolutionary urge for unification and independence, Ginzburg gracefully weaves the story of a dynasty, the Manzoni family, that seems to grow autonomously around the life of the writer and to incorporate all the epic tumult and emotion of the age.
