Peter Lindbergh

Peter Lindbergh, one of the world's foremost fashion photographers, celebrates the female form in this classic book. Peter Lindbergh's Images of Women is now available in this new unabridged compact edition. Lindbergh, who passed away in 2019, took a comprehensive look at his body of work from the 1980s and '90s and hand selected these black-and-white photographs of the most beautiful and famous women in the world. It was the era of the supermodels, a phenomenon he himself had helped create, and he left his own unique stamp upon it, influencing an entire generation of fashion photographers with his distinct style. Lindbergh was always interested in the aura, individuality, and personality of his models which resulted in images that captured an ideal of beauty more than just perfection and glamour. This splendid monograph represents the definitive collection of Lindbergh's considerable oeuvre: classic fashion photographs, arresting candids, portraits of female celebrities--including Madonna, Isabella Rossellini, Sharon Stone, Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Rampling, Daryl Hannah--and of course his signature shots of the world's supermodels.

This retrospective features not only the acclaimed fashion photographer's print photo campaigns but also the outtakes, Polaroids, and scouting photos of the photographer's "little films" that have redefined the art with their compelling realism and depth of emotion. 250 color & duotone photos.

The supermodel phenomenon has captured the 90s all over the globe, surpassing every known form of star cult. Peter Lindbergh, German photographer living in Paris, made a major contribution to the optical creation of this worldwide myth. The most beautiful and most celebrated supermodels owe many of their best photographs to Peter Lindbergh's creativity, perception, and particularly his sensitive camera eye. In his first book Ten Women, published in 1996, Peter Lindbergh has devoted one chapter to each of his most beautiful young women: Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Kristen McMenamy, Kate Moss, Tatjana Patitz, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington and Amber Valetta. Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld wrote a short foreword to the book, not devoid of a streak of melancholy. Argentinian star designer Juan Gatti composed the orderly format of this publication, now available in a softcover reprint.

From the world's foremost photographer of women comes this splendid celebration of the female form & mystique. This splendid monograph represents the definitive collection of Lindbergh's considerable oeuvre: classic fashion photographs, arresting candids, portraits of female celebrities & of course his signature shots of the world's supermodels.

Vanity Fair 100 Years showcases a century of personality and power, art and commerce, crisis and culture—both highbrow and low—in this collection of images that graced the pages of magazine, and some published for the very first time. From its inception in 1913, through the Jazz Age and the Depression, to its reincarnation in the boom-boom Reagan years, to the image-saturated Information Age, Vanity Fair has presented the modern era as it has unfolded, using wit, imagination, peerless literary narrative, and bold, groundbreaking imagery from the greatest photographers, artists, and illustrators of the day. Edited by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, this sumptuous book takes a decade-by-decade look at the world as seen by the magazine, stopping to describe the incomparable editor Frank Crowninshield and the birth of the Jazz Age Vanity Fair, the magazine’s controversial rebirth in 1983, and the history of the glamorous Vanity Fair Oscar Party. “The book is a stunning artifact that begets staring, less for the words and publishing industry than as an exercise in visual storytelling reflected through the prism of society and celebrity. The best photographers, the best designers, the best illustrators all came together over Vanity Fair’s contents, and the book unfolds in page after page of stunningly rendered images, some iconic and some that never even ran.” —New York Times Book Review
