Book Description
Giuseppe (1923-2010) and Giovanna Panza di Biumo are known as passionate and tireless collectors who over the course of more than fifty years built an extraordinary collection of contemporary art. Extraordinary for the artists included - Rothko, Kline, Tàpies, Lichtenstein, Oldenburg, Rosenquist, Andre, Serra, Nauman, Kosuth, LeWitt, Weiner, Sims and Fredenthal, among others - but especially for its implied vision: an innate and bold capacity to recognize in each work its radical, peculiar content of truth, well in advance of the critics and art market. This volume is the result of a long conversation with Philippe Ungar between 2007 and 2009. In this cultured and moving dialogue, the inner need to discover and acquire works of art is revealed as an intellectual adventure and a spiritual journey but also as the creation of a familiar lexicon founded on the tenacious search for beauty through art.

"A book of Hamish Fulton's text pieces that both discuss and exemplify his artwork. Fulton's spare texts originate in walks he takes through the landscape. Descriptive and at times prescriptive, he describes them as "facts for the walker and fiction for everyone else." Carefully placed on the small square pages, each aphoristic piece is simultaneously present and absent as an artwork, a fact captured by the book's subtitle: 'The separation of subject (walking) and medium (text on paper).'"--Printed Matter.
