Open Book – Accanto al Pantheon: Randi Malkin Steinberger’s Snapshots of Alighiero Boetti’s Studio
Randi Malkin Steinberger met Alighiero Boetti in the mid-eighties. She spent a six-month period photographing the artist and his studio. In 1989, together they produced Accanto al Pantheon, a limited edition book consisting of a selection of these images. The book is divided into eight chapters, each containing a title given by Boetti and eight photographs. In 1990 Boetti asked Mariuccia Casadio, Laura Cherubini, Luigi Meneghelli, Marco Meneguzzo, Francesca Alfano Miglietti, Giovan Battista Salerno, Giorgio Verzotti, and Angela Vettese to write a text for a specifically chosen chapter. This version of Accanto al Pantheon was published by Prearo Editore in Milan in 1991. Open Book – Accanto al Pantheon features the photos from the book and excerpts from the texts.
