Olivo BARBIERI, "Notte - Lot 237

Olivo BARBIERI, "Notte Edition Art& Folds Note: A book devoted to the nocturnal work of Italian photographer Olivo Barbieri, a major figure in international contemporary photography. In Notte, Barbieri explores the city and its architecture at dusk. Artificial lights, scaffolding, monuments and urban spaces are captured in a suspended atmosphere, where reality seems almost unreal. Night becomes an aesthetic device: it transforms volumes, isolates forms and gives scenes a theatrical dimension. This work foreshadows Barbieri's later research into perception, selective focus and the visual construction of the urban landscape. A sought-after work for collectors of contemporary Italian photography and lovers of photographed architecture.
