"new" carlo mollino book....

There is yet another 
Carlo Mollino 
book out and I finally fucking got it.
I had to order it from Amazon UK.
Maybe it's out in the US by now,
I'm not sure. 
(Just checked, it is...)
I could have bought it 7 months ago
in London during Frieze,
but I was feeling too lazy to haul it.
Stupid me.
Anyway, it's great. Get it.
Here are some of my favorite pics
and pieces from it.
I have to say it wins best cover so far this
year too....

Quote by Carlo Mollino,
drawing by 
Mr. Egyptian:


Egyptian statue of the goddess

Drawing by Carlo Mollino for 
"L'amante del duca"
1936
So off... those tiny little figures to the 
right make me think of
"Mulholland Drive"




Carlo Mollino chair drawings 
and Carl hard at work....

Carlo Mollino with Maria Rossi,

Look at him there in the mirror...
Ok,

prostitute model....
