THE EXHIBITION
The Municipality of Vicenza and the Palladian Basilica present the major retrospective exhibition dedicated to Guido Harari, an evocative exhibition journey set up inside the monument, featuring over 300 photographs, installations and original films, projections, a photographic set, and meetings with the artist.
Organized in collaboration with Rjma Progetti Culturali and Wall Of Sound Gallery, the exhibition traces every phase of Guido Harari’s eclectic career: from his early work in the music world as a photographer and journalist, to the many album covers created for artists such as Fabrizio De André, Bob Dylan, Vasco Rossi, Kate Bush, Paolo Conte, Lou Reed, and Frank Zappa, through to the establishment of a body of work that over time has moved across different fields—publishing, advertising, fashion, and reportage—always privileging portraiture as an intimate narrative of encounters with the leading figures of his era.
