Morandi's Objects.

The Complete Archive of Casa Morandi. Photographs by Joel Meyerowitz.

Damiani, 2026. 200 pp., 192 illustrations, 9x11¼".

In the spring of 2015, world-renowned photographer Joel Meyerowitz spent time in Giorgio Morandi’s studio at 36 Via Fondazza in Bologna. The simple rooms where Morandi painted are filled with objects — vases, tins, shells, bottles, and jugs — arranged on shelves, sideboards, chests of drawers, and spilling onto the floor. Morandi selected and arranged these items on makeshift tables to capture them, and the light that fell upon them, in oil, watercolor, and pencil, creating an elusive body of work that continues to inspire artists.

Some fifty years after Morandi’s death, in the very same space, Meyerowitz engaged with Morandi’s surfaces and light, allowing the same shadows to fall. He handled each object with care, placing them one by one on Morandi’s marked tabletop. Meyerowitz photographed every object in the studio, bestowing upon each a sense of individuality while making them his own.

'Morandi’s Objects' presents, for the first time, the complete archive of Giorgio Morandi’s objects, photographed in their entirety in the artist’s studio.

Originally published in 2016, this expanded and revised edition includes more than 130 new photographs, a new essay by Amanda Renshaw and an updated bibliography.
