Description: Milano: Silvana, 2014. 29cm., pbk., 192pp., 250 illus. Italian-English text. Summary: The expressive structure of this volume is photographic; indeed, it is made up of images which are the fruits of a labour of love, a meticulous, incessant one by Reinhold Kohl, a photography professional and artist. Since the 1980s he has recorded on sensitive film the many prestigious international sculptors working in Carrara and in the wider Apuan area, portrayed in positions and situations that demonstrate their creative activities. The names of the protagonists roll off the tongue: Guadagnucci, Poncet, Vangi, Cardenas, Botero, Signori, Max Bill, Finotti, Bodini, Pistoletto, Theimer through the flourishing colony of Japanese artists, Yasuda, Ogata, Nakamura. Antoine Poncet in Nicoli laboratory in Carrara intent on the execution of an Alba or chatting to the workmen, Giuliano Vangi absorbed in thought, Novello Finotti bent over, examining his marble or exultant at the sight of marble quarries, Michelangelo Pistoletto in a pensive mood, an engrossed Dunchi, a relaxed Bodini, Theimer chiselling wax, Ferdinando Botero, a serious expression on his face, standing before his horse, Ogata laughing as he looks at his toy aeroplane; all expressive examples of what the photographer's eye produced. The sculptures, located in the shadow of the Apuan Alps under the blue skies or placed in natural or urban settings, indoors or with multi-coloured backgrounds, in Kohl's pictures, assume a new and gratifying formal identity.
