About the Item

Massimo Listri Fortuny, Venezia 2022 C print Signed, dated, and numbered on verso label 39.5 x 47.5 inches (100 x 120 cm) edition of 5 - $12,500 47.5 x 59 inches (120 x 150 cm) edition of 5 - $14,500 71 x 88.5 inches (180 x 225 edition of 5 - $22,500 Framing options available Massimo Listri is fascinated how his architectural subject matter allows him to control the composition of his image. For many years he has photographed classicism devoid of people. More than a simple record of architecture, through his lens Listri rediscovers historical spaces and invites us to examine them afresh. His oeuvre has been presented at many public and private foundations worldwide. Through the course of his career he has published over fifty books on art and architecture. His secret is largely found in the use of natural light, avoiding complicity with artifices or over-sophisticated technology, although in post-production his skilful hand does not disdain from the use of putting into focus or perspective cuts, thereby fully satisfying his desire to create “a work of art within the work of art” through his photographs. With this extraordinary view, these and hundreds of images have been shot, which finally give us back – thanks to his unmistakable hand – a harmonious idea of the multiplicity and disciplinary complexity that characterise our collections and exhibition spaces. It is a restitution of unprecedented views that are capable of surprising who, like us, comes into contact with the museum’s rooms every day. "What makes his work unique is how he has made interiors look so absolutely vivid, as if they had a secret life of their own that only he knows how to portray. Listri has the extraordinary ability to capture all the small details that make the difference and reveal all the stories that remain hidden behind the surface. Listri's photos transmit an almost deafening silence, as if time had stopped and humans had suddenly disappeared and the only thing reminiscent of them are the interiors they've left behind, the remains of their lives and their passions, their art and their culture." Apostolos Mitsios Massimo Listri born in 1953 began his career as a photographer at a very young age. At 17 he was collaborating with numerous magazines dedicated to Art and Architecture. During his university years he studied Arts and Letters and continued to expand his work, contributing numerous photographic services to publications devoted to Art, Architecture, and Interior Design. In 1981 Massimo founded the internationally renowned magazine FMR, with the publisher Franco Maria Ricci and Vittorio Sgarbi. For 20 years this beautiful magazine served as the major vehicle for the expression of Massimo's photographic essays of the most beautiful Palaces, Villas, Interior Design, and Architecture from all periods. In thirty years Massimo has published more than 80 books with the most prestigious publishers in Europe and the United States ( Palaces of Rome, Vilas of Tuscany, Versailles, Italian Palace, Sweden Interiors, Alhambra, Grand Interiors, Casa Mexicana, New Asian Interiors, etc) In addition, he has exhibited his work at numerous "solo artist" exhibitions throughout the world. Most recently his work has been presented at Palazzo Reale, Milan (2008), Palazzo Pitti (Florence 2009), The Contemporary Art Museum of Prato (2009), The Morgan Library and Museum (New York 2010), The National Library of Taipei (2012), The Italian Institute of Culture in Tokyo (2012), The Museum of Modern Art of Bogota (2012), The Museum of Italian Art in Lima (2012), The Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires (2012), Angelica Libary in Rome (2012), The living art gallery in Santiago (Chile) (2013), Galeria Nacional de Bellas Artes in Dominican Republic (2013) and Schusev State Museum of Architecture in Moscow (2013), Museo Nacional San Carlos Mexico City (2014) ,Benaki Museum in Athens (2014), San Domenico Museum in Forlì (2014), Vatican Museum in Rome (2014), Palazzo Reale in Turin (2014), Kunsthistorisches Museum in Wien (2015), Museum of Modern Art in Bogotà (2015), Katara Museum in Doha (2015) ,in 29 February 2016 in the Quirinal Palace in Rome ( the residence of the Italian President) , San Carlos Museum in Mexico City (2017), River City in Bangkok (2017), Guadalupe Museum in Zacatecas (2018), Venaria Reale in Turin (2018), Brasilian Embassy in Wien (2018), Shanghai Himalayas Museum in Shanghai (2019), Forte Belvedere in Florence (2019), The Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon (2019), Cultural Center San Pablo in Oaxaca, Mexico (2019) and The Multimedial Space San Francesco in Civitanova Marche Alta (2021) and most recently the Correr Museum in Venice.
