 2012 also saw the publication of several books of Durand's photographs.Notably, "Photographing Statues for a Year", photographs the artist took of the statues in the museum from every point of view and in every imaginable lighting conditions.The text was co-written by the museum's director, Marisa de'Spagnolis and published by L'Erma di Bretschneider, and is the only comprehensive archive of photographs of the museum's collection, including two dozen photographs of the celebrated Head of Ulysses that bring the statue (on special loan to the Scuderie del Quirinale, Augustus exhibition October–January 2014) to life.
