Abstract
We discuss the space correlation and the luminosity properties of the galaxy distributions in the three dimensional catalogs arising from about 100.000 redshift measurements which have been made to date. We show how the main observational aspects of galaxy luminosity and space distributions are strongly related and can be naturally linked and explained as a multifractal (MF) distribution
