The 18th-century Italian printmaker Giovanni Battista Piranesi achieved fame for his
etchings of real and imaginary buildings: Roman ruins, baroque cityscapes, and
fantastical prisons. This retrospective reassesses his life and his art, as well as the
complex world of his son, Francesco, whose promotion of his father’s work was over-
shadowed by allegations of espionage. The book also reveals the story of Australian
collectors of Piranesi’s work and his influence on Australian artists, from Russell
Drysdale to Rick Amor and Marco Luccio.

Long Time Passing
Photographs by Obie Oberholzer
“While many other photographers’ images either make you feel optimistic or profoundly moved, Oberholzer’s can make you
feel both simultaneously.” —Sunday Times (South Africa)
“Oberholzer turns the mundane into the extraordinary.” —Business Day’s Wanted magazine
Showcasing the natural beauty of South Africa’s Karoo region, acclaimed photographer Obie Oberholzer trains his lens on
the landscape and people of the extensive, semidesert area. In doing so, he presents it as it has never been seen before:
colorful, mysterious, vibrant, and always surprising. Fans of landscape photography will find here a ticket to a wild, even
ferocious land but also one that is undeniably stunning.
Obie Oberholzer is a freelance photographer and a former associate professor of photography at Rhodes University in
South Africa. His work has been exhibited in South Africa, Germany, Spain, the United States, and other countries. He has
published nine books of his work, including Limburg’s Momento Mori, Long Ago Way, and Round the Bend.
This journey into Italian architecture is an ongoing enquiry into the diverse project typologies being currently developed—the
degree of their innovation and the way they mesh with technical requirements. The book focuses on how the many aspects
of Italian architecture developed by Italian architects working in Italy today deal with the layers of building history that have
gone before. The works selected have been taken from the “Panorama Italiano” section on www.theplan.it and include
urban and rural residences, public and cultural buildings, office and commercial blocks, social housing, and broader urban
planning projects. All testify to the vitality of Italian architecture today.
Nicola Leonardi is the founder and editor in chief of the Plan, one of the most authoritative architecture and design journals
on the international scene. He is also the publisher of the Plan Editions.
