Mimmo Jodice, the photographer of visions of reality, has died yesterday.
A great experimenter, close to the artistic avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s, the photographer was able to portray the world beyond the constraints of documentary photography.
He passed away at the age of 91, after a long and highly successful career.
Skira is honoured to have published books that have captured and will continue to capture his most iconic photographs.

The Echo of our Voices is the fourth chapter of The Day May Break, Nick Brandt’s global series portraying people and animals impacted by climate change and environmental degradation.
The series was photographed in Jordan, one of the most water-scarce countries in the world. It features rural Syrian refugee families currently living there, whose lives have been seriously impacted by droughts intensified by climate change. Living lives of continuous displacement, they are forced to move their homes up to several times a
year, moving to where there is available agricultural work, to wherever there has been sufficient rainfall to enable crops to grow.
The photographs show the families’ connection and strength in the face of adversity, that when all else is lost you still have each other. The boxes on which the families gather aim skyward, pedestals for those that in our society are typically unseen and unheard.

Out today in US bookstores and available on our website, the book will be released in Italy in 2026 with the opening of the photographer's exhibition in Turin.

✨ Discover the singular work of sculptor Clemence van Lunen in an exceptional monograph, now available online and in our Milan & Paris Boutiques.

Trained in Belgium with Michel Smolders and then at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, her commitment to ceramics was affirmed through a series of important residencies: first in Spain, at the Casa de Velázquez, then in France, and above all in China, at Jingdezhen, where she has worked regularly since 2004 in a converted former state factory.

This monograph highlights a dense and coherent career in which ceramics becomes the vehicle for a personal and demanding sculptural language.

Discover the works of artist Clémence van Lunen in her first major retrospective: ‘Clémence van Lunen. Une joyeuse intranquillité’ (Clémence van Lunen. A joyful restlessness) at Keramis - Centre de la Céramique de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles (asbl) in La Louvière, Belgium, until 1 March 2026.


✨ Découvrez l'œuvre singulière de la sculptrice Clémence van Lunen dans une monographie exceptionnelle, désormais disponible en ligne et dans nos boutiques de Milan et Paris.

Formée en Belgique auprès de Michel Smolders, puis aux Beaux-Arts de Paris, son engagement dans la céramique s'est affirmé à travers une série de résidences importantes : d'abord en Espagne, à la Casa de Velázquez, puis en France, et surtout en Chine, à Jingdezhen, où elle travaille régulièrement depuis 2004 dans une ancienne usine d'État reconvertie.

Cette monographie met en lumière une carrière dense et cohérente dans laquelle la céramique devient le vecteur d'un langage sculptural personnel et exigeant.

Guido Crepax (1933–2003) is considered one of Italy's most important comic book authors, and probably the best known internationally in the field of adult comics. From a very young age, in the post-war period, he created comic books, demonstrating a remarkable talent for drawing. After graduating in architecture, he chose to devote himself to drawing, first as the creator of numerous album covers and later as a graphic designer.
In 1965, thanks to the debut of the magazine Linus, he returned to comics to create the character that made him famous worldwide: Valentina. His comic book adaptations of literary classics are meticulous and refined. In total, Crepax produced around 4,500 comic strips over his 35-year career.

You can dive into 50 years of drawings, album covers, comics and boardgames at the Santa Giulia Museum, thank to the "Guido Crepax. Dream, Toys, Valentina 1953-2003" exhibition (open until February, 15th 2026).
Catalogue published by Skira.

Francesco Vezzoli’s work revels in the power of nostalgia, fame, and sorrow, threading cinema, embroidery, and art history into a singular, melancholic vision. His bejeweled tears—stitched onto the faces of film and fashion’s great icons—transform heartbreak into ornament, elevating sorrow to spectacle.
This book traces Vezzoli’s engagement with visual history, from the golden age of Italian cinema to the devotional traditions of religious iconography. Through film, needlework, and performance, he reframes longing and loss as a conceptual thread linking cultural memory with contemporary image-making.
"Francesco Vezzoli: Diva?" is a study in beauty, artifice, and catharsis.

Out today in italian bookstores, in our Milan boutique and online.

Skira editore

Losanna 1928: Un giovane svizzero innamorato dell’arte Alberto Schira, che ha francesizzato il suo nome in Albert Skira, fonda una minuscola casa editrice. Nessuno può immaginare che questa sigla farà la storia dell’editoria d’arte nel mondo.

Parigi, anni ’30: Al 25 di rue de la Boétie c’è la sede parigina della casa editrice Skira. La frequentano Pablo Picasso e Henri Matisse, cui si devono i primi due straordinari libri della giovane casa editrice: le Metamorfosi di Ovidio con 30 acqueforti originali di Picasso e le Poésies di Mallarmé, per le quali Matisse ha creato 29 incisioni.

Ginevra, 1948: Per festeggiare i vent’anni della Skira, che ha trasferito la sede svizzera da Losanna a Ginevra e conserva a Parigi quella francese, Henri Matisse disegna di suo pugno la copertina del catalogo: un volto di donna che diverrà il simbolo della casa editrice, affiancato al celebre marchio con le maiuscole allungate. Negli anni che seguiranno quel marchio farà il giro del mondo, contrassegnando libri e collane mitiche.

Oggi la sede della holding del gruppo è ancora a Ginevra, ma il quartier generale si trova ora a Milano, in un grande palazzo del Cinquecento. Skira pubblica oltre 300 novità all’anno con tre programmi principali, in italiano, inglese e francese e due più ridotti, in tedesco e in spagnolo. La qualità editoriale e quella visiva restano i caratteri distintivi fondamentali della casa editrice, che ha allargato il proprio orizzonte dalle arti visuali all’architettura, al design, alle arti applicate, sino alla moda e al cinema. Skira è il maggior editore europeo di cataloghi di mostre ed è anche produttore e organizzatore di grandi eventi artistici.
