Massimo Vitali

In Steidls ongoing project to catalogue the lifes work of this Italian master of the photographic medium, this slipcased edition brings together the two volumes which encompass all Massimo Vitalis images to create a collectors edition. Volume I is the second edition of Landscape with Figures, the award winning book first published in 2004. Published in a marginally smaller format than the original, the production of this new edition utilises new scans to take advantage of the significant technical developments since the first edition was printed. Volume II is a copy of the first edition of the recently published Natural Habitats. The first 1,000 copies of this limited, slipcased edition includes a giant poster which maps the family tree of Vitalis works, a visual geneology which is also the history of the artists work.
