Vu. The Story of a Magazine that Made an Era, 1928-1940
The French weekly magazine VU was where the modern status of photography in the media was first established. Spearheading the media revolution of the 1920s, it ran over 600 issues between 21 March 1928 and 29 May 1940. Like a cinema newsreel on paper, it aimed to set itself apart with its ‘illustrated reporting of world affairs’. The magazine covered an eclectic range of subjects including politics and current events, social issues, discoveries, disasters, the arts, sport, entertainment, and anything that would surprise or delight its readers. It promised ‘pages crammed with photographs’ and ‘sensational illustrated features’ – and it always delivered. VU also made use of photomontage as a vehicle for pointed political or social criticism, in particular through the work of Alexander Liberman, who was art director from 1932 and had worked with Cassandre, who designed the VU logo. The rotogravure printing technique gave VU’s layout artists more creative leeway and gave new quality and power to the photographs themselves, by photographers including Kertész, Man Ray, Krull, Lotar and Brassaï. This book pays tribute to VU’s fundamental contribution to press photography, showing how photographers and publishers became aware of the potential of the medium. Themed picture sections explore the most notable features of VU: striking page layouts, fascinating photo stories, stunning cover designs, chilling images from Nazi Germany, and more. This anthology gives the reader an unparalleled insight into how the modern media came into being, as well as offering a superb snapshot of an entire era. — Testi: Frizot Michel, De Veigy Cédric.

Sottsass Ettore
I libri di Ettore Sottsass
“ Intanto, piano piano, mi sono drogato con quel piacere speciale che uno può avere a stampare libri, a depositare un po’ della vita propria o di chiunque altro sulla carta stampata, a far girare tra la gente un po’ della vita, a suscitare vita, suscitare pensieri, emozioni, odio, disprezzo, allegria, conoscenza, forse anche a trovare la propria reale posizione sul pianeta. Se il libro non si vende, restano in magazzino metri cubi di carta stampata: non importa molto. Il libro si è fatto, il poco o il tanto della vita è stato depositato sulla carta stampata e resta la speranza che la carta sia buona. Nel frattempo la vita c’è stata. ” Ettore Sottsass Questo volume raccoglie le riviste e i libri che Ettore Sottsass ha scritto, illustrato o curato nell’arco di sessant’anni, tra il 1947 e il 2006. Opere su carta stampata in cui Sottsass ha realizzato appositamente testi, illustrazioni e/o invenzioni grafiche. La multiforme produzione editoriale di Ettore Sottsass è raggruppata in otto sezioni – la rivista “Room East 128. Chronicle”, i libri editi per le edizioni “East 128”, “Pianeta Fresco”, gli inserti nelle riviste d’architettura e design, i libri illustrati e i testi teorici, i cataloghi del gruppo “Memphis”, la rivista “Terrazzo” e le pubblicazioni augurali dello Studio Sottsass Associati – ed è accompagnata da contributi di Barbara Radice, Andrea Branzi, Michele De Lucchi, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Elio Fiorucci, Christoph Radl, Franco Raggi e Lea Vergine. — Testi: Maffei Giorgio, Tonini Bruno.

Clip, stamp, fold: the radical architecture of little magazines, 196x-197x
An explosion of little architectural magazines in the 1960s and 1970s instigated a radical transformation in architectural culture, as the magazines acted as a site of innovation and debate.Clip/Stamp/Foldtakes stock of seventy little magazines from this period that were published in over a dozen cities. Coined in the early twentieth century to designate progressive literary journals, the term little magazine was remobilized during the 1960s to grapple with the contemporary proliferation of independent architectural periodicals. The terms little and magazine are not taken at face value. In addition to short-lived radical magazines, Clip/Stamp/Foldincludes pamphlets and building instruction manuals along with professional magazines that experienced moments of littleness, influenced by the graphics and intellectual concerns of their self-published contemporaries.Beatriz Colomina is Professor of Architecture and Founding Director of the Program in Media and Modernity at Princeton University. — Testi: Colomina Beatriz. pagg. 390; rileg. rigida.

The Latin American Photobook
A growing appreciation of the photobook has inspired a flood of new scholarship and connoisseurship of the form--few as surprising and inspiring as The Latin American Photobook, the culmination of a four-year, cross-continental research effort led by Horacio Fernandez, author of the seminal volume Fotografia P blica. Compiled with the input of a committee of researchers, scholars, and photographers, including Marcelo Brodsky, Iat Cannabrava, Pablo Ortiz Monasterio and Martin Parr, The Latin American Photobookpresents 150 volumes from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru and Venezuela. It begins with the 1920s and continues up to today, providing revelatory perspectives on the under-charted history of Latin American photography, and featuring work by great figures such as Claudia Andujar, Barbara Br ndli, Manuel lvarez Bravo, Horacio Coppola, Paz Err zuriz, Graciela Iturbide, Sara Facio, Paolo Gasparini, Daniel Gonz lez, Boris Kossoy, Sergio Larrain and many others. The book is divided into thematic sections such as "The City," "Conceptual Art and Photography" and "Photography and Literature," the latter a category uniquely important to Latin America. Fernandez's texts, exhaustively researched and richly illustrated, offer insight not only on each individual title and photographer, but on the multivalent social, political, and artistic histories of the region as well. This book is an unparalleled resource for those interested in Latin American photography or in discovering these heretofore unknown gems in the history of the photobook at large. — Testi: Fernandez Horacio. pagg. 256; COL e BN; rileg. rigida. Editore: Aperture, New York , 2011.
