Produktbeschreibungen
Synopsis
Paolo Roversi is known internationally for his romantic, intense, and ethereal fashion images and portraits - images that quiver on the edge of their own seemingly fragile existence. A typical Roversi photograph appears as if captured in the process - it develops on the page right before our very eyes or, depending on your perspective, might simply vanish into the ether. Since 1980, Roversi has worked primarily in 8-by-10 Polaroid, and rarely on location. "Studio" is a milestone in his burgeoning bibliography. The book, designed as a series of gatefolds, appears to be a collection of empty pages at first glance. The experience of looking is akin to that of peeling away the leaves of a Polaroid - out of the blackness, an image is revealed as if by magic. The images collected here - a self-portrait of the artist and a portrait of the place that stands at the center of his work - represent nearly two decades of work and are a mix of both the published and the highly personal: landscapes, portraits, fashion images, and photos of the studio itself.

Is that it?
15. Oktober 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I am pretty disappointed by this "accessible trade edition" as it is presented in the "Product Description." The limited edition was a series of 60 gatefolds. Being in the publishing business I understand how expensive that would be to produce--clearly prohibitive for a more standard trade edition book that is to sell at a more modest price. The limited edition was described on amazon as follows, "...at first glance the book appears to be a collection of empty pages. The experience of looking is akin to that of peeling away the leaf from a Polaroid--out of the blackness an image is revealed as if by magic...." It seems to me that Mr. Roversi and the publisher could have at least included one or more gatefolds in this trade edition to offer the viewer a taste of what the original limited edition is like (which is now only available on the secondary market and at vast cost). I think it fair to assume that this book was originally conceived of in its limited edition form. If so, then why not preserve that original creative thinking and integrity, even if only in small measure, and allow those of us who can only afford the "accessible trade edition" to experience it.
I continue to be a fan of Mr. Roversi's work but this book, specifically this edition of what was a considerably more interesting concept, does not serve him well. The images contained in this book are not among my favorite of Mr. Roversi's work (I consider the collections of images in Nudi and Una Donna to be stronger) but I cannot help but feel that they are enhanced by the gatefold presentation of the original edition. Once you take away the "magic" of their being revealed out of the blackness as you peel away the fronts of the gatefolds, it does not seem to me that the images by themselves, and as presented in this trade edition, have enough magic of their own. There is a darkness about them to begin with and it is almost as if you need that extra blackness that the gatefolds provide in order to bring out the light to be found in these particular images.
Rather than buying this book, do what you can to see a copy of the original edition and experience the work as it was intended to be experienced. I am not sure the original edition is worth owning for the kind of money some secondary market sellers are asking but it is certainly worthwhile to at least look through one, if you can find it, and experience it.

Beautiful printing...amazing pictures...
12. Oktober 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
long waiting...I placed an order months ago...finally, it arrived the past weekend.
I am a fan of Paolo Roversi...and this book is just beautiful. Not many pictures (maybe I have expected more, and would love to see his more recent work to be included), but, the book is printed on this beautiful, fancy black paper...
All the pictures carries his dream-like look and feel...most portraits...some his studio space...all images are just breath-taking beautiful...
But, I have to say...I do like to see more images though...
