Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The latest in Silvana's catalogues raisonnés on Italian design appraises the 'total design' ethos of Joe ColomboThe Tube Chair, the Spider lamp and the Boby trolley (now in the collection of MoMA in New York); the 'Monoblocks,' such as the Mini-Kitchen or the Total Table with its integrated dishes; the beautiful global housing unit, a visionary 'machine' that aims to encompass all the needs of living--these and other icons of Italian design by the brilliant visionary Milanese designer Joe Colombo expressed a total vision of living that was characteristic of his time. This volume--part of Silvana's series on 20th-century Italian design masters (with previous titles on Sarfatti, Parisi and Arredoluce)--constitutes the first catalogue raisonné of Colombo's work. Around 180 projects are documented, divided between works still in production and historical works, for companies such as Oluce, Kartell, Bieffe, Alessi, Flexform and Boffi. Essays by Ignazia Favata--Colombo's longterm collaborator--and Domitilla Dardi are completed by a critical anthology. Joe Colombo was born in Milan in 1930. In the early 1950s he worked as an artist, exhibiting alongside Enrico Baj, Lucio Fontana and Roberto Matta, also joining the Concrete art movement. He began to devote himself to design in 1960. In 1962 he opened a design studio in Milan, receiving architectural and design commissions. Among his best-known works are his Kartell chair of 1965; the Spider lamp (winner of the Golden Compass award in 1967); and his halogen light of 1970. Colombo died in 1971; he was posthumously included in MoMA's 1972 show Italy--New Domestic Landscape.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A massive anthology of the exhibitions of the late, great Germano Celant, the Italian curator who named Arte Povera and created countless landmark shows of postwar European artWhen Italian art critic and curator Germano Celant died in 2020 at the age of 79, he left behind a legacy of curatorial philosophy that decisively shaped postwar art in the West, and will undoubtedly influence future generations of curators. In 1967, Celant published his manifesto 'Notes for a Guerrilla War' in which he coined the term Arte Povera to classify Italy's artistic counter to the Pop art trends prevailing in the United States and the United Kingdom at the time. This publication provides a chronology of 34 exhibitions curated by Celant, beginning with the first Arte Povera gallery show in 1967 and closing with the sprawling 2018 Prada Foundation show Post Zang Tumb Tuuum: Art Life Politics: Italia 1918-1943. Appraising the exhibitions as well as the theoretical writings from their respective catalogs, this volume seeks to reconstruct the most important shows of Celant's career from initial conception to public reception. The Story of (MY) Exhibitions explores the unique approach to curation that characterized Celant's life and work. His career trajectory is a nonlinear evolution of personal interpretation and historical documentation that prioritizes nontraditional media and strives to break down boundaries between different artistic languages.…
