Electa

Italy

Electa publishes visual culture at scale: by its own description it is Italy's largest publisher in the field by the breadth of its catalogue and the variety of its series, and its exhibition catalogues go back to 1945. It belongs to the Mondadori group and works under the Electa and Abscondita imprints. The list covers painting, photography, architecture, design, sculpture and performance, from classical antiquity to the contemporary, and the house sees itself as a hub for art history, telling both the great story and the smaller stories of movements and artists, with scientific quality and a distinct graphic identity. It also produces exhibitions, with what it calls a tailored approach shaped by curators and architects, and manages museum bookshops.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
