Aperture 132 - Summer 1993
Immagini Italiane
While Italian artists working in other media are touted as visionaries, Italian photography remains virtually unviewed. Yet there are countless compelling and innovative Italian photographers exploring and working in all genres. The revelation of Italian photography, the experience of Italy as seen through the sensibilities of its own photographers, and Aperture’s mission to publish work with which our audience may not be familiar—these are the forces that fueled “Immagini Italiane.”
