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.

Punk: periodical collection
Punk: periodical collection, On self-publishing practices, a book by Paul Gangloff, assembles interviews interspersed with a series of collages made during a collective graphic experiment at the Jan van Eyck Academie. In the series of interviews, Christophe Boutin, Didier Christen, Hans-Christian Dany, Stephan Dillemuth, Martijn Haas, Roberto Ohrt, Gee Vaucher and others speak about anarcho-punk, bohemian research, city magazines, design, Do-It-Yourself, fanzines, open houses, imposters, insults, means of production, post-punk, pre-Xerox, self-organization, the Situationist International, strategy and zines. “The first half of fanzine stands for fan as in fanatic. The fan makes a fanzine about his or her idol. The word punkzine came as a substitute at a point when punk rejected fanaticism, which has to do with adoration. Zines are not designed; rather, they are made. Making a zine could be a way to become a designer, but it may also be a way out of the position of designer. On the one hand, it is a question of self-empowerment: rather making a zine than inscribing oneself into existing magazines. On the other hand, it is about overstepping the boundaries of a profession, in order to play several roles as a dilettante. Punkzines are not solely interesting as the visual style of a bygone epoch, as a “source of inspiration” or for direct recuperation. Rather, things may be learned from a study of the spirit in which they were made.” — Testi: Gangloff Paul. F.to: 16,5x23,5; pagg. 192; BN; rileg. brossura.

QUARANTANNI. Galleria Minini 1973-2013
C’era una volta un mondo diverso, non peggio del nostro, non meglio, chissà. Comunque c’era, quel mondo, ed era lì bello e pronto per essere visto anche da noi comuni mortali, turisti per curiosità, non eroici pionieri dell’Africa, ma onesti viaggiatori sulle topolino amaranto, sulle Dauphine Renault, sull’Anglia, sulla Cinquecento Fiat. Il mondo era una scoperta, anche se era già stato scoperto da tempo, ma noi lo vedevamo per la prima volta e non potevamo non comunicare questa gioia ad amici e parenti. Come potevamo far parte ai nostri cari di tutto questo? Ma con le cartoline! Piccole colorate immagini di vacanza, spiagge con gli ombrelloni, montagne con la neve, una sciatrice a Cortina che fa lo Sten Christiania, le Alpi svizzere con le mucche, Tirolesi che suonano il grande corno... Gli artisti non facevano eccezione, e come vecchie zie, ci mandavano foto delle bambine appena nate, improbabili cartoline di un ristorante kitsch, stadi di calcio strapieni di folla, cartoline molto d’avanguardia con soggetti molto di retroguardia. Qualche artista, senza modestia, ci mandava il proprio ritratto o una propria opera a mo’ di memento, non si sa mai, magari ce ne dimenticassimo.

Architectural and Cultural Guide Pyongyang
Ambitiously designed community buildings, faceless mass hous¬ing developments, and a monumental emptiness are the defining features of Pyongyang a city of three million inhabitants rising from the rubble to which the Korean War reducedit in the 1950s. This architectural guide to the capital of the Democratic People s Republic of Korea has two parts comprising a total of 368 pages. While Volume 1 offers a selection of images and information on nearly one hundred buildings in Pyongyang provided by the PyongyangForeign Languages Publishing House and presented here without further commentary, Volume 2 sets this material within its architectural and historical context. <br><br> The Architectural and Cultural Guide Pyongyang offers unprecedented insights into the capital of what is probably the most isolated country in the world, ruled in the third generation by a first family stubbornly upholding its own brand of stone-age communism. — Testi: Meuser Philipp. F.to: 13,5x24,5; pagg. 368; 450 ills; rileg. brossura.

Richter Gerhard
Gerhard Richter: Books
Gerhard Richter (born 1932) is predominantly known for his paintings and drawings, which strike a playful balance between photo-realism and abstraction, while at once delving into often controversial political commentary. His works have explored a multitude of media, from photo-based, monochrome and brightly colored paintings to ink-doused papers and thin, multicolored strips of pure pattern. Beyond his artistic works, and particularly in recent years, Richter has published extensively on his vision of art and artistic values: in letters, interviews, public statements, excerpts and articles, Richter has established himself as a brilliant advocate of contemporary painting. Richter has also increasingly explored the possibilities of the book as medium in a series of extraordinary artist's books. <I>Gerhard Richter: Books</I> takes an in-depth look at his work in this medium. It features a book-length interview with the artist by internationally renowned art critic and historian Hans Ulrich Obrist, who walks us through the Richter archive and discusses the work with the artist himself, affording the reader an entirely new perspective on his works. The book also includes a new text by Kunstmuseum Winterthur director Dieter Schwarz. — Testi: Schwartz Dieter, Obrist Hans Ulrich. pagg. 122; rileg. brossura. Editore: Gregory R.
