This catalogue raisonné of works by Fabio Mauri (Rome, 1926–2009), edited by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, brings together an introductory essay by the editor alongside contributions by other authors, as well as images of more than 3,600 works, each accompanied by extended captions. It is the most comprehensive study of the artist’s
oeuvre to date.

A leading figure of the post-war Italian avant-garde, Mauri was a multifaceted intellectual – visual artist, writer, educator, and publisher – whose work is distinguished by its early and sustained investigation of the “screen”as a paradigm for modern systems of mediation – from cinema and television to the broader technologies of mass communication – and by a critical inquiry into ideology, memory, and the mechanisms of manipulation.
