Serial/Portable Classic - Fondazione Prada 2015

Published on the occasion of the exhibitions Serial Classic in Milan and Portable Classic in Venice, this volume examines the relationship between originality, reproduction and the circulation of classical sculpture in Greek and Roman art. Through nearly 400 illustrations, it explores how celebrated Greek masterpieces were reproduced in Roman antiquity, from monumental sculptures to smaller-scale versions intended for private collections. Essays by an international group of scholars address the history, techniques, materials and cultural significance of these reproductions. Edited by Salvatore Settis, Anna Anguissola and Davide Gasparotto.
