Synopsis:

This large, ambitious volume (2.25" thick; 9.75x11.25") surveys the engagement with architecture 20th-century artists have made, with a vast number of artists represented from Europe and the US. Chapters are included on related topics, including photography and architecture (the jacket title, but not the title page, includes photography in the list of arts included in this volume), architecture and cinema, neorealism in Italy, and many chapters on individual artistic movements and their impact on architectural style. The catalogue profiles individual artists by presenting color plates of their work with texts of their manifestos and other artistic statements. This volume accompanies a major exhibition held at the Ducal Palace in Genoa, Italy in conjunction with Genoa's role as the 2004 European Capital of Culture. Celant is senior curator for contemporary art at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
