The complete collection of Joel Meyerowitz’s photographs of some 300 objects, collected by Giorgio Morandi and depicted in his paintings. A meeting of two worlds - painting and photography - by two great masters in their respective fields.
The first edition of Morandi's Objects is now superseded by the complete archive.
About the Author:
Joel Meyerowitz (b. 1938) was trained as a painter, but an afternoon spent with Robert Frank in the early 1960s changed his destiny. In the years that followed, Meyerowitz dedicated himself to photography. In 1963 his work was selected by John Szarkowski, Director of Photography at New York’s Museum of Modern Art to be included in the seminal exhibition The Photographer’s Eye. Over the following decades he mastered black and white and became a pioneer of colour photography, instrumental in changing the art world’s attitude to it being accepted as an art form. His photographs of the streets of New York and other American cities are iconic in the history of photography. He is internationally regarded as one of the most important and influential street photographers and has co-authored Bystander, the standard work on the genre.
Maggie Barrett is a painter, writer and musician who has written four novels, a collection of short stories and a play that she performed off Broadway. She and her husband, Joel Meyerowitz, are the subject of the film Two Strangers Trying Not to Kill Each Other directed by Manon Ouimet and Jacob Perlmutter. Barrett is currently working on a play titled Present Tense.
An art historian by training, Amanda Renshaw (b. 1963) has conceived, shaped and written books for over 25 years. She has collaborated with many of the world’s leading artists, art historians, intellectual and creative figures. She curated Morandi’s Objects by Joel Meyerowitz at the Palazzo Franchetti in Venice in 2023.
