Synopsis "Ugo Mulas: Creative Intersections (in English)"
An insider's photographic history of postwar Italian and American artBeginning his career in 1940, Italian photographer Ugo Mulas (1928–73) became a central figure in documenting postwar contemporary art. This volume presents Mulas’ black-and-white photographs―two decades of the Venice Biennale, New York in the 1960s, and close friends and artists Fontana, Consagra, Melotti and Pisoletto.
