Prima edizione
First edition. 10 x 7.75 inches. 72 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original poctorial boards. "Published to accompany a special exhibition of works by Penone organised by New York's Frick Collection, this new volume comprises eleven porcelain disks that the artist made during his 2013 collaboration with the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres, the influential porcelain factory founded in the 18th century. A continuation of his Propagazioni (Propagations) series, begun in 1995, which includes various media, each disk bears the imprint of one of the artist's fingertips. One of them is in gold, its imprint a variation on the artist's index finger. Never before presented to the public, the disks are installed in a gallery adjacent to a porcelain at the Frick's temporary home on Madison Avenue, kindling a rich artistic dialogue which is further explored in this volume" (the publisher). New in shrinkwrap.
