Photobook-Gabriele Basilico: Workbook 1968-2006

Born in Milan in 1944, Gabriele Basilico first studied architecture. This early training is reflected in his work and shows in his understanding of the landscape and architectural form. His landscapes avoid human presence and explore the complex interrelationships between the built environment and the natural one.

He has curated both in Italy and abroad and directed the 45th Venice Biennale. He has been awarded several prizes, such as the Valentino d’Oro, an international prize for art critics.
