LINK: HOMAGE TO GABRIELE BASILICO – DIGITAL EXHIBITION
The exhibition was dedicated to Gabriele Basilico (Milan, 1944-2013), master of contemporary European photography, three months after his death. Trained as an architect, Basilico began photographing in the mid-‘60s, first doing reportage and then moving to documentary photography and developing a personal method of reading the city and the metropolis, the urban-industrial complex, the transition of the landscape from industrial to post-industrial. The exhibition, not a proper anthology, makes no claim to completeness with respect to the breadth of Basilico’s work, but it is offers substantial testimony to the weight that his photographs have in the collections of the Museum, which conserves nearly 1,000 of them. The exhibition includes photographs from his first period (Glasgow 1969, Milan’s Low-income Neighborhoods 1970-73, Terni 1976, Dancing in Emilia 1978, Contact 1978, In Full Sun 1978, Milan’s Urban Environment 1978-81) and the core works of some of his most important projects: Milano.

Gabriele Basilico fut l’un des photographes de la mission qui, en 1991, documenta Beyrouth marquée par la guerre civile. Il y est retourné à trois reprises.
Le photographe italien Gabriele Basilico (1944-2013) est considéré comme l’un des plus importants photographes documentaristes. Durant près de quarante ans, il a posé son regard sur les villes du monde entier et a développé une réflexion sur la photographie de paysage. L’exposition « Retours à Beyrouth », qui présente pour la première fois les quatre missions photographiques effectuées en 1991, en 2003, en 2008 et 2011, documente la reconstruction progressive de la ville et témoigne de la grande affection du photographe envers la capitale libanaise.
