Vanessa Beecroft

Charta/Fondazione Pitti Immagine Discovery, 2005

Description: VB 53 provides documentation of Vanessa Beecroft's most recent performance at Pitti Immagine Uomo 66 in Florence's Horticultural Garden. Twenty-one models of varying appearance and race were planted in a mass of earth in the tepidarium. All were nude except for a single accessory: Helmut Lang shoes that wrapped around their ankles, separating their bare legs from the bare, rough earth. According to Beecroft, "The sole is reference ...

HuO: Hans-Ulrich Obrist: Interviews
Nobuyoshi Araki, Mel Bochner, ...

Charta/Fondazione Pitti Immagine Discovery, 2003

It is not an exaggeration to write that Hans-Ulrich Obrist is everywhere, has curated everything and has interviewed everyone.

Excess: Fashion And The Underground In The 80S
Charles Jencks, Bruce Weber, ...

Charta/Fondazione Pitti Immagine Discovery, 2004

Producing a book on fashion in the 1980s is not merely a question of immortalizing one of the most feverish periods of invention, creativity, and variety in our recent history. It also means providing a window on the increasingly pervasive advance of show-business society, and on the origins of the designer "total living" environment in which we are now permanently submerged. Ralph Lauren pillowcases, anyone? How about a sip of Absolut from my ...
