New York City, NY: PowerHouse Books, 2000. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. Unpaginated. Fine/Fine. Collection of fashion photographs. An elegant production by Larry Fink and Daniel Power: Oversize-volume format in wide oblong shape. Hard boards with titles on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Larry Fink. Essay by Guy Trebay. Printed on thick coated stock paper by EBS in Verona, Italy to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents the immensely talented photographer's finest and most representative fashion images. "Acclaimed master photographer Larry Fink's behind-the-scenes photographs from the world of fashion and couture have graced the pages of America's top beauty, style, pop culture, and literary magazines: W, GQ, Detour, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Vibe. His inimitable take has resulted in special commissions by Gianni Versace, Christian Lacroix, and Donna Karan, offering Fink carte blanche front-row and backstage access. The seemingly surreptitiously captured dioramas of Fashion Weeks worldwide, special collection debuts, and industry functions provide a surreal glimpse of the famous players, the dutiful minions, and the style czarinas at work in the most dynamic, celebrity-driven industry. Glomming looks and gleaning style from the shows in Milan, New York, and Paris, Fink's distinctive take on the perversely unusual world of fashion teases, baits, and whets our morbid appetite with its glamor and with a humor and style that no other photographer could possibly achieve" (Publisher's blurb). Well, not quite. Larry Fink owes a debt to the fashion imagery of William Klein, and there is also no question that he is the latter's most talented heir. This title has been out-of-print for some time. This is one of relatively few copies still available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. Larry Fink's "Social Graces" is widely regarded as one of the greatest photography books of the 20th century. One of the finest living photographers. A fine copy. . ISBN 1576870278. $70.00 |
