USCITA DELL’EDIZIONE AMPLIATA di Taste and the Antique. The Lure of Classical Sculpture 1500-1900. Revised and Amplified Edition, edited by Adriano Aymonino, Eloisa Dodero, Nicholas Penny, Francis Haskell, Harvey Miller, 2024
The original edition has been expanded into three volumes:
Volume 1 is a revised and amplified version of the 1981 edition. Fifteen chapters trace in narrative form, with the support of a wide variety of plates, the rise and decline of this highly important episode in the history of taste. These chapters are followed by catalogue entries for 95 of the most celebrated sculptures, all of them illustrated, which provide information on when and where they were discovered, changes of ownership and nomenclature, as well as a record of varying critical fortunes designed to complement the more general discussion in the earlier chapters.
Volume 2 contains especially commissioned new photography of over 90 statues catalogued in Volume 1.
Volume 3 is entirely devoted to a visual survey of the full range of replicas and adaptations of the works catalogued and illustrated in the previous volumes.
