Artist's book. From the foreword by G. Chiari: "It was not easy to make a list of all my works with their birth dates, instruments I used, titles etc. This list was made in autumn 1971 but I sincerely fear that in autumn 1972 this same list would be different. My opinion on my music is continuously changing. However, a complete classification even concerning only one day, is always very useful. Moreover, I can say things about my work which will always be true. My work as a whole is made of several pieces which have no life by themselves. These pieces are fragments and each work is formed by ten, twelve, a hundred fragments. Consequently, each work of mine is a suite. The performer or performers will make a choice of fragments and play them one after the other. Or one on top of the other. Very easy and very difficult". Text in English. [16] pp; 12,5x16,5 cm. Buone (qualche segno del tempo in copertina). Seller Inventory # 5343-cp-sogg

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.
