A WORK WILL BE SHOWN, Artists Invitations and Announcements

For decades, renowned artist Maurizio Nannucci has meticulously preserved a remarkable collection of exhibition invitation cards—ephemeral objects that transcend their practical function to become powerful expressions of artistic identity.

This volume presents a curated selection of invitations and announcements from artists whose conceptual and aesthetic sensibilities resonate with Nannucci’s own, as well as pieces from a wider network of colleagues, friends, galleries, and museums.

More than a simple archive, this collection reveals how these printed materials—often designed by the artists themselves—bridge information and creativity.

Each card becomes a work of art in miniature, where typography, imagery, and form embody a holistic artistic vision. 

Must-read for collectors, art historians, designers, and cultural thinkers seeking a deeper understanding of the intersection between art, communication, and conceptual practice.
