The Skira History of Photography series will be released in four separate volumes: 1839-1890; 1890-1939; 1939-1980; and 1980-2010. Each volume is made up of essays by specialists, including a series of short monographic essays dedicated to individual photographers written by a single author, providing a narrative voice that ensures continuity throughout and a historical framework that adopts a strictly chronological approach.This first volume (1839-1890) considers the years of the invention of photography and those immediately following-extraordinary years from both the point of view of history and of the development of the inventions. Including the great early forebears, like Daguerre and Talbot, and the great photographic expeditions that placed the world before the eyes of an ever-increasing number of people, this first volume also stresses the fundamental links between photography and the world of science. The volume concludes by examining the burgeoning relationship between photography and the traditional arts disciplines, a point of fundamental importance in the development of a photographic language.   

Photographic book of Picasso's works exhibited in the various museums of Milan, Paris and Madrid. These three museums are the three cities that have marked the work and critical fortune of the great master Picasso

This book showcases one century of abstract sculpture (1918–2018) under the unprecedented prism of the aerial suspension. From the sculptures of Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray and Alexander Rodchenko at the end of the 1910s, to Alexander Calder or Bruno Munari at the beginning of the 1930s, following with Soto, François Morellet, Daniel Buren, Julio Le Parc in the 1950s, then Sol LeWitt or Robert Morris and more recently Xavier Veilhan, Ernesto Neto, or Haegue Yang. If many of these suspended artworks remain static, some of them follow the concept of the “mobile”, hanging from the ceiling and given over to the invisible forces in the air. This new aesthetic is correlated to the modern eye, more dynamic, as well as to the reassessment of traditional modes of exhibiting artworks and to overhead hanging. This art form is connected to the cosmogonic imagination, to the conquest of the air, then, post-war, of space, but also to the fear of the void, to chandeliers, to hanging, climbing and falling, as well as to levitation or even floating.

The Olivetti company is known chiefly in the United States as a manufacturer of typewriters and calculators that has grown into one of the leading European telecommunications companies. What is less well known is how progressive the company was as a sponsor of modern architecture and urban planning in postwar Italy. Starting in the 1930s, Adriano Olivetti, the son of the founder, became a kind of modern day Medici of modern architecture and urban planning, relocating the company to Ivrea, outside Turin and embarking on an ambitious program of carefully planned development. These efforts attracted the top architects in Italy and created a unique relationship between a company and the architectural firms that worked for it, producing what is today a virtual open air architecture and urban planning museum in the town of Ivrea. This volume chronicles, through photographs, sketches, plans and archival documents, the development of this unique relationship between commerce, community and architecture that is one of the finest examples of planned development in the twentieth century.

"L'ensemble d'icônes réuni par Rena Andreadis constitue l'une des collections privées de ce genre les plus connues. Sans englober un nombre particulièrement important de pièces, la collection est remarquable par sa diversité. Elle comprend des icônes grecques du XIVème au XVIIIème siècle, dont la production recouvre une vaste aire géographique, depuis Constantinople et la Grèce continentale jusqu'à la Crète et l'Heptanèse. --------------------------------- (.) Chaque icône de la collection témoigne une caractéristique qui attire le regard du spectateur ou de l'historien de l'art, une particularité iconographique, un détail architectural inhabituel, l expression d'un sentiment particulièrement marquée, le portrait original d'un donateur ou une inscription dédicatoire."

Published by Skira Rizzoli in association with Peter Freeman, Inc.Catherine Murphy has been celebrated as a representational painter of exceptional precision, and this, her first monograph, Catherine Murphy, surveys her complete work, which unites American Minimalism and American naturalist painting. Murphy has evolved a style that combines obsessive authenticity with Minimalist rigor. From the shaded lawns of the New Jersey suburbs to the Massachusetts woods, from childhood interiors to self-portraits and detailed images of buttons and dust, carpeted stairs, or a stuccoed ceiling, Murphy always paints and draws from life, often the domestic and quotidian. John Yau notes in his introduction that, “her attachment to the commonplace is not just amatter of convenience, of painting and drawing what she can see from her window or inside herapartment. In her choice of subjects—and I am speaking here of Murphy’s entire career, which stretches across five decades—the artist has made a conscious decision to stay true to both what she could observe and to her own working-class background, and the aesthetic choices that people of that milieuare constantly making, from illustrated calendars and inexpensive objets d’art to wallpaper andrefrigerator magnets.”

Tintoretto svelato. La sala dell'albergo della Scuola Grande di San Rocco a Venezia G. Fumo ISBN: 9788857206608 Descrizione libro: Skira, 2010. Condizione libro: New. Language: italian. La decisione di decorare il soffitto della Sala dell'Albergo nella Scuola Grande di San Rocco a Venezia, presa dai Confratelli già nel mese di luglio 1546, divenne operativa solo nel 1564. Fu in quell'anno che, grazie ad una disinvolta e celebre azione di "forza" di Jacopo Tintoretto, a tutti nota, il lavoro venne assegnato direttamente all'artista che eseguì, in tempi brevi, oltre al grande ovale centrale raffigurante la Gloria di san Rocco, tutte le altre sedici tele del soffitto che si sviluppa su una superficie complessiva di 130 metri quadri. Si tratta di quattro tondi con le raffigurazione delle Stagioni, posti agli angoli; cinque Allegorie delle Scuole Grandi, due Figure femminili in volo e cinque figure di virtù: la Liberalità, la Felicità, la Verità, la Fede e la Bontà. Le tele, che hanno forma e dimensioni diverse, si trovano lungo il perimetro del soffitto, inserite entro raffinate cornici con finitura a foglia d'oro e partiture lignee piane su cui si snodano bizzarre raffigurazioni fantastiche dorate su fondo grigio-azzurro, che si riallacciano al gusto delle decorazioni manieriste presenti in altri importanti palazzi veneziani del Cinquecento.

Publiée à l'occasion du centenaire de la naissance de Roland Barthes, cette édition reproduit à l'identique le livre paru chez Albert Skira, dans la collection « Les sentiers de la création » en 1970.« Pourquoi le Japon ? Parce que c’est le pays de l’écriture : de tous les pays que l’auteur a pu connaître, le Japon est celui où il a rencontré le travail du signe le plus proche de ses convictions et de ses fantasmes, ou, si l’on préfère, le plus éloigné des dégoûts, des irritations et des refus que suscite en lui la sémiocratie occidentale. Le signe japonais est fort : admirablement réglé, agencé, affiché, jamais naturalisé ou rationalisé. Le signe japonais est vide : son signifié fuit, point de dieu, de vérité, de morale au fond de ces signifiants qui règnent sans contrepartie. Et surtout, la qualité supérieure de ce signe, la noblesse de son affirmation et la grâce érotique dont il se dessine sont apposées partout, sur les objets et sur les conduites les plus futiles, celles que nous renvoyons ordinairement dans l’insignifiance ou la vulgarité. Le lieu du signe ne sera donc pas cherché ici du côté de ses domaines institutionnels : il ne sera question ni d’art, ni de folklore, ni même de « civilisation » (on n’opposera pas le Japon féodal au Japon technique). Il sera question de la ville, du magasin, du théâtre, de la politesse, des jardins, de la violence ; il sera question de quelques gestes, de quelques nourritures, de quelques poèmes ; il sera question des visages, des yeux et des pinceaux avec quoi tout cela s’écrit mais ne se peint pas. » Roland Barthes
