Dani Marti
A forthcoming monograph from Hatje Cantz

A major new monograph on the work of Dani Marti is scheduled to be published in spring 2012.

Designed by Herman Lelie and Stefania Bonelli, and edited by Matt Price, the book will be the most comprehensive publication to date on Marti’s work, covering a broad spectrum of his career and accompanied by over 70 high quality images.
