Summary:
In the spring of 1966, the architects Umberto Riva and Luisa Castiglioni, the flaneur Enzo Muzii and the art patron Hans Deichmann hired a car in San Francisco in which to travel the length and breadth of the United States and photograph the architecture of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Louis Kahn, Frank Lloyd Wright and many others. They visited California and the South (Phoenix, Dallas, New Orleans and Atlanta) before heading up to Chicago and Philadelphia, only to reach New York after a month on the road. A Grand Tour comprising cities, architecture, deserts and encounters. An educational journey, but also a discoveryof America in its heyday, captured in magnificent black and white by a group of cultured European travellers. That journey became issue 17 of Zodiac, the international architecture magazine published by Olivetti, while the contact sheets containing the photographs of the four travellers has re-emerged only recently.

"In April 2020, during the Covid-19 lockdown, I discovered (quite by chance) some 35mm film negatives from weekend visits to Stockport Market in Greater Manchester, in 1976 and 1977.

I had shot several rolls of film with the old Leica M4 camera passed on to me by my father. At that time I was an undergraduate student at Stirling University. Soon after that my life became all about parenthood and a full-time career in social work. So the negatives from my 1970’s adventures went into storage, occasionally dragged around house moves in Scotland, but mainly forgotten for over four decades..." Heidi Alexander

Summary:
Coinciding with a major retrospective exhibition at MAXXI, Rome, ''Col tempo, 1956–2024'' provides a complete and long-awaited retrospective of the career of Guido Guidi, sequenced by the artist himself in his typically illuminating, associative style. The book begins with some of the earliest photographs Guidi made, aged fifteen, in the countryside around his home in Cesena in the Italian region of Romagna. The sequence that follows, covering almost seventy years, encompasses a wide range of styles, forms, and approaches as it traces the evolution of one of the most important voices in contemporary photography. It includes journeys to the USA, Russia, Turkey, and Portugal, and studies of the works of architects including Carlo Scarpa, Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier. Consistently, though, it returns to the modest agricultural landscapes where Guidi was born and still lives and works today, among which he has developed the revelatory visual language for which he is celebrated as a modern master.
