Gabriele Basilico 'Contact' series?

[herrvall]

Hi all. If you've made your way by the MCA in Chicago lately, as part of their "ITALICS" show they have the work of one Gabriele Basilico on the wall. I had heard of him for his architecture, but the MCA was showing his work from a series called 'Contacts'.

The MCA had 10 or so of these images up, and I cannot find them anywhere online. Nor can I find a reference to these ever being published in a collection by him, and it's quite possible he never published them. However, he is an Italian photographer, so I could be running into language barriers in my search...

I'm really bummed out that I can't find these images, no pun intended. Anyone know if this series exists anywhere? Perhaps a book or online?

The series is here (http://www.artslant.com/ew/events/show/68362-contact-1984).
Gabriele is a very kind man. Look his pictures up as Basilico fotografo.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I was familiar with his other work too. I'll make it a point to stop by next weekend.
