FRANCESCA SERAVALLE CURATOR
BOOKS














Curating an art book means working with the artist from the concept, the design, the editing, the production, to the promotion of the book. I collaborate even as researcher and as writer of essays. The books are published by RVB (FR), AMC (UK), SPBH (UK), Trolleybooks (UK), Witty kiwi (IT), Silvana Editrice (IT). I have even a background as project manager for cultural and corporate books with Magnum and many Festivals of photography.
