Retrospective collection of photographs. Special Limited and Numbered Edition. Number 23 in the continuing Series by Stern. The first 50 Issues of the Stern Portfolio Library of Photography, the most avidly collected Photography Series of its kind in the world, were all published as softcover originals only. A brilliant production by Stern: Oversize-volume format. A very tall and slim book. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover, as issued. Photographs by Francis Giacobetti. Printed on thick coated stock paper in Germany to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Francis Giacobetti's contribution to the now-legendary Series whose brilliant concept is to devote each Issue to a particular photographer, either as a "Portfolio Issue" or as a "Spezial Fotografie". The collection consists of some of the photographer's most memorable and iconic images, presented as a series of sequences that show his work in various "genres" side-by-side. Giacobetti is regarded as one of the finest living French portraitists as well as a brilliant fashion/lifestyle photographer who has done the best fashion photography for Issey Miyake, with the exception of Irving Penn. Giacobetti's portraits are extreme closeups, mostly in black-and-white of such figures as Woody Allen, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Francis Bacon, and Fidel Castro (magnificent shots), among many others. The Portfolio Magazine/Spezial Fotografie Series have become eminently collectible and now include contributions by Peter Beard, William Klein, James Nachtwey, Francis Giacobetti, Annie Leibovitz, Nan Goldin, Mario Testino, David LaChapelle, Herb Ritts, Ellen von Unwerth, Giorgia Fiorio, Horst, Martin Parr, and Andreas H. Bitesnich, among many others. A "must-have" title for Francis Giacobetti collectors. This Issue has been out-of-print for a very long time and is now collectible. This is the only copy available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A very scarce copy thus. One of the finest living photographers. A flawless copy.
