Published in 1999 by Harry N. Abrams in conjunction with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, this comprehensive hardcover monograph was organized by Lisa Dennison on the occasion of Francesco Clemente’s major exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.
This square-format volume serves as both an essential art historical reference and a bold decorative object. The front dust jacket features Clemente's vibrant "Alpana Bows and Butterflies," while the reverse showcases his iconic 1999 "Skull" detail, offering a dramatic pop of saturated crimson, violet, and gold to any eclectic, modern, or maximalist space. Inside, the book is lavishly illustrated with full-color plates spanning the Italian contemporary master's career, including his expressive watercolors, fresco paintings, and collaborative works. A notable feature of this edition is the beautifully preserved translucent vellum overlay printed with the artist's symbolic handprint graphic, sitting adjacent to his photographic portrait.
