LUIGI GHIRRI It’s Beautiful Here, Isn’t It
LUIGI GHIRRI It’s Beautiful Here, Isn’t It — the first book on Ghirri in the U.S.— will establish him as the seminal artist he was. Ghirri is an extraordinary photographer and writer with a rich and varied career.
He is well-known in his native Italy, but not as familiar to an international audience. Perhaps because he died so young. His work shared the sensibility of what became known as the New Color and the New Topographics movements before they had been named.

LUIGI GHIRRI It’s Beautiful Here, Isn’t It
LUIGI GHIRRI It’s Beautiful Here, Isn’t It — the first book on Ghirri in the U.S.— will establish him as the seminal artist he was. Ghirri is an extraordinary photographer and writer with a rich and varied career. He is well-known in his native Italy, but not as familiar to an international audience. Perhaps because he died so young. His work shared the sensibility of what became known as the New Color and the New Topographics movements before they had been named.
Like his counterparts in Italian cinema, Ghirri believed the local and the universal were inseparable. And also that life’s polarities—love and hate, present and past—were equally compelling. He worked in Giorgio Morandi’s studio and with architect Aldo Rossi. All whilst influencing a generation of photographers. These include Olivo Barbieri and Martin Parr. This dynamic book also has a selection of Ghirri’s essays published in English for the first time alongside a selected chronology.
