For CIMA friends in Italy, we are presenting the new facsimile of Fortunato Depero’s masterpiece of graphic design and typography, Depero Futurista (aka The Bolted Book), at the inaugural FLAT art book fair in Turin. CIMA’s executive director Heather Ewing will be participating in a roundtable conversation together with Nicoletta Boschiero, curator at The Mart museum of modern and contemporary art in Trento and Rovereto and author of an essay in the reader’s guide; Ken Soehner, chief librarian of the Thomas J. Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a member of the scientific committee of FLAT; and Liliana Dematteis, a curator and collector and another member of the FLAT scientific committee.

FLAT (fiero libro arte Torino) is a new international event dedicated to art books, taking place November 3-5, 2017. CIMA is proud to be a cultural partner of FLAT.
