This richly illustrated volume explores the imaginative universe of Luigi Serafini, one of the most original and enigmatic figures in contemporary art. Bringing together works from the artist’s archive alongside pieces from the Franco Maria Ricci Foundation, the catalog offers a multifaceted view of Serafini’s creative practice, where language, image, and invention intertwine.
Conceived as both an exhibition companion and an independent publication, the book traces Serafini’s artistic trajectory through paintings, sculptures, and graphic works, including material connected to his legendary Codex Seraphinianus. Moving between reality and fantasy, his work constructs a world governed by its own logic—at once playful, unsettling, and intellectually provocative.
Structured as a layered narrative, the publication reflects the complexity of Serafini’s vision, combining visual material with critical texts that approach his work from multiple angles. Essays and contributions situate his practice within broader artistic and cultural contexts while preserving its fundamentally elusive character.
Published as a bilingual edition (Italian and English), this catalog expands accessibility while maintaining the richness of its original context. It stands as both a collector’s object and a key reference for understanding an artist whose work resists categorization and continues to captivate audiences across generations.
