Cm 24,8x19,8, pp. 350 Rilegato, sovracoperta (hard cover, dust jacket) Ottimo (Fine)Through the course of the 1970s and 1980s, Luigi Ghirri pursued his extraordinary project, open-ended and mercurial, marked by empathy for the changing everyday spaces of his time. Over the course of his short career, Ghirri would produce a vast body of photographs without parallel in the Europe of his time and numerous writings which would have an indelible impact on the history of photography.
This extensive book compiled by the renowned British curator James Lingwood accompanies a touring exhibition to three major museum venues across Europe and focuses on the first decade of Ghirri's work, defined by his 1979 exhibition in Parma. Vera Fotografia was grouped into fourteen different narrative sequences, each of which is represented in this volume: Fotografie del periodo iniziale (1970), Kodachrome (1970-78), Colazione sull'erba (1972-74), Catalogo(1970-79), Km 0.250 (1973), Diaframma 11, 1/125, luce naturale(1970-79), Atlante, (1973), Italia Ailati (1971-79), Il paese del balocchi(1972-79), Vedute (1970-79), Infinito (1974), In Scala (1976-79), Still Life (1975-79).
