Overview
"Part of an ongoing series of publications by Italian photographers of international renown who were commissioned to photographs of new residential neighborhoods in the city if Bolzano, this book features the impressive large-format black-and-white photographs of Gabriele Basilico."Synopsis
Trained as an architect, Italian-born Gabriele Basilico (b. 1944) is one of Italy's leading fine art photographers. Basilico's photographs of cityscapes, residential buildings, and factories transcend reality, revealing the essence of the metropolis, town, or village. All of Basilico's images are presented chronographically, including the early coastal landscapes of Normandy and the Beirut cityscapes of 1991, with picture-by-picture commentaries by Basilico himself. This is the best introductory monograph to Basilico's work, featuring an essay by Francesco Bonami, which assesses Basilico's importance in the history of photography.
