FMR Franco Maria Ricci

A Labyrinth of Beauty

Beschreibung

A brilliant anthology of the 40-plus year history of FMR, the Italian magazine that taught the world to see art, bound in silk and adorned with gold. “The most beautiful magazine in the world.” —Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Founded by Franco Maria Ricci (FMR) in Italy in 1982, FMR is the ultimate art magazine, a treasure trove for art lovers and a touchstone in the formation of personal taste for the past half century. This superbly produced book, featuring some 400 images as well as articles drawn from the entire history of the sumptuous black-background magazine, is printed on heavy, glossy paper with rich blacks and deep, saturated colors. With a distinctive black silk cover, adorned with gold and paired with elegant typography, it is itself a true collector’s item. Ricci traversed the boundaries of art, architecture, and design, and his unprecedented magazine became an unequivocal success. FMR is cherished by curators and gallerists around the world for its presentation of daringly bold world art of every description and contributions from some of the world’s greatest writers. Paused in 2009, the biannual publication was revived in 2022 and today its US, British, French, Spanish, and Italian editions combine to make it the world’s largest art magazine. This book, filled with the very best of FMR, is essential for art lovers seeking to expand their knowledge, taste, and imagination. Sustainability is integral to Vendome's publishing process.
