Selected Spreads

The book that celebrates this edition mixes mediaeval market scenes, Madonna, masked balls, delightful juxtapositions such as Heath Ledger as Pierrot in his last film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, sad clowns such as first Watteau and then Picasso painted, David Bowie and Buster Keaton, the court of the Bavarian dukes and the court of Christian Dior, what's lost, what's dependable, the legacy - everything intermingles in the pictures of the book, which works almost like a film. The Blue Nose Group, Johannes Kahrs, Saul Steinberg, Catherine Sullivan, Terence Koh, David LaChapelle, Andy Warhol, Antoine Watteau, Steven Meisel, Richard Burbridge, Pablo Picasso, August Macke, Cindy Palmano, Ellen von Unwerth, Perry Odgen - these are just a few of the photographers, painters and illustrators whose works adorn the books.
