About

In the summer of 2007, as part of its initiative to open thirty new branches across Italy, Deutsche Bank commissioned the American artist John Divola to photograph ten Italian cities. Divola was to be the first of three artists from three different continents who were to be selected for the project. That summer, Divola ended up photographing in twelve Italian Cities.

Shortly after Divola finished his work and returned home, the Great Recession started, and Deutsche Bank abandoned the project. The work that Divola made for the Deutsche Bank project has never been publicly shown.

However, in conjunction with working on the commission, Divola photographed Italian cars as a side project. This series, presented in Italian Cars, is Divola’s contribution to our One Picture Book Two series.
