…E Prini
Emilio Prini
Published by Sternberg Press, London, 2026, 426 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 21.5 × 30.5 cm, English/Italian
Price: €38

This first monograph on Italian artist Emilio Prini explores his radical approach to art across five decades of work through texts, archival research, and artist interventions. Structured chronologically from 1966 to 2016, it examines his work via a systematic iconographic and bibliographic analysis of Prini’s archives along with the institutions he exhibited at. As he considered the medium secondary to the concept, no distinction is made between installations, sculptures, invitations, posters, or documents; and by presenting the works first individually and then situated in different contexts, the book provides a unique insight into his particular methodology.

Edited by Luca Lo Pinto. Contributions by Alexander Alberro, Stefano Chiodi, Lara Favaretto, Adam Harrison, John Knight, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Luca Lo Pinto, Timotea Prini, Anri Sala, Andrea Viliani. Designed by Experimental Jetset.
