Store Description

The Studio Bibliografico Giorgio Maffei specialises in original texts by twentieth century visual and literary avant-garde artists. These range from the historic publications produced in the early 1900s, to the Futurist, Dadaist, Abstract and Surrealist volumes which are now considered to be classics, to the subsequent revolutionary techniques of the second half of the century. The bibliographic research already carried out by the Studio Bibliografico offers confirmation of the importance of this area and of the fact that the entire history of modern publishing continues to offer immense research potential in all areas, covering original texts, exhibition catalogues, specialist magazines and in particular artists' books, that fertile terrain which encouraged the meeting and cross- fertilisation of many different art forms.
