Catalogue published for the solo exhibition at Palazzo Reale in Milan, charting the career of a protagonist of the history of photography who, like no one else, showed the face of Milan’s, Italy’s and the international art and cultural world. The seventies, eighties and nineties were a whirl of encounters between Venice Biennales and Documenta in Kassel, installations and openings, book launches, parties and reportages around the world, always with Milan as the privileged place of observation, a cosmopolitan city and an extraordinary laboratory of creativity and modernity. The portraits cover artists, gallerists, critics, designers, architects, writers, publishers, journalists, designers, directors, actors, intellectuals, entrepreneurs and friends.
