Lorenzo and Simona Perrone's LibriBianchi are the expression of their personal artistic research, which has been developing for over twenty years and which explores the world of books to strongly sanction the book/culture binomial as a synonym of civilisation. They are real books rescued from the rubble, which with water, glue, plaster and various apparently extraneous materials become sculptures.

We launched the book this week with a signing session in our Milan Boutique (via Meravigli 18), and as of today it's is officially available in bookstores as well.

The perfect present for every book lover (and book savior), don't you agree?

Clive van den Berg (b. 1956, Zambia) - artist, curator, designer, writer and activist - has been working across mediums throughout the course of his prolific career, producing a range of works unified by his enduring focus on five interrelated themes: memory, light, landscape, desire, and the body. Embodied in his lush paintings, mixed-media sculptures, delicate prints, films, and public projects, these themes are bound up with the history of his native South Africa and its ongoing ramifications.
He has marked sites affected by Apartheid with human figures formed out of fire, and often depicts the body itself as a landscape, bearing the marks of AIDS. For van den Berg, both the body and the landscape are sites that carry memories and scars and that evoke desires, which he aims to reveal in his work, often through the illuminating power of light.

His monography features texts by Rosalind Morris and Graeme Reid and is published by Skira.

Skira editore

Losanna 1928: Un giovane svizzero innamorato dell’arte Alberto Schira, che ha francesizzato il suo nome in Albert Skira, fonda una minuscola casa editrice. Nessuno può immaginare che questa sigla farà la storia dell’editoria d’arte nel mondo.

Parigi, anni ’30: Al 25 di rue de la Boétie c’è la sede parigina della casa editrice Skira. La frequentano Pablo Picasso e Henri Matisse, cui si devono i primi due straordinari libri della giovane casa editrice: le Metamorfosi di Ovidio con 30 acqueforti originali di Picasso e le Poésies di Mallarmé, per le quali Matisse ha creato 29 incisioni.

Ginevra, 1948: Per festeggiare i vent’anni della Skira, che ha trasferito la sede svizzera da Losanna a Ginevra e conserva a Parigi quella francese, Henri Matisse disegna di suo pugno la copertina del catalogo: un volto di donna che diverrà il simbolo della casa editrice, affiancato al celebre marchio con le maiuscole allungate. Negli anni che seguiranno quel marchio farà il giro del mondo, contrassegnando libri e collane mitiche.

Oggi la sede della holding del gruppo è ancora a Ginevra, ma il quartier generale si trova ora a Milano, in un grande palazzo del Cinquecento. Skira pubblica oltre 300 novità all’anno con tre programmi principali, in italiano, inglese e francese e due più ridotti, in tedesco e in spagnolo. La qualità editoriale e quella visiva restano i caratteri distintivi fondamentali della casa editrice, che ha allargato il proprio orizzonte dalle arti visuali all’architettura, al design, alle arti applicate, sino alla moda e al cinema. Skira è il maggior editore europeo di cataloghi di mostre ed è anche produttore e organizzatore di grandi eventi artistici.
