Title: ALFRED SEILAND : Imperium Romanum, Opus Magnum
Author: Beck, Hans (et al)
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9783775737081
Description: Stuttgart: Hatje Cantz, 2014. 36 x 34cm., hardcover, boxed, ca. 480pp., 240 illus. Summary: | (Almost) as overwhelming as the Roman Empire itself: Alfred Seiland’s photographic documentation of the architectural legacy of the Imperium Romanum. Alfred Seiland could be called obsessive: he wants to have it all. He has spent the past decade indefatigably crisscrossing the region around the Mediterranean and far beyond on a search for ancient Rome. His photographs of what remains of the former empire are incomparable and unique. His panoramas spread before us the glamour and the decline of its architectural legacy. Agrigento, Palmyra, Rome, Masada, Hadrian’s Wall—the list of sites depicted is endless. An overwhelming cornucopia of material excited us so much that we opted for this extraordinary, yet, as it seemed to us, very appropriate form of presentation. We are pleased to be able to publish this outstanding edition of Seiland’s landmark work, complete with maps and explanatory essays and ambitiously designed by Stapelberg + Fritz. (^Publication delayed to June 2014^)
