Irving Penn : A Career in Photography

Trained as an artist, Irving Penn began photographing for Vogue in the 1940s - and went on to become one of the most versatile and accomplished image-makers of the last 50 years. His photographs have become documents of the century, from his portraits of native peoples to his gravity defying still lifes of Clinque cosmetics. This landmark retrospective showcases 90 of Penn's standout images.

Irving Penn Regards the Work of Issey Miyake : Photographs 1975-1998

For more than ten years there has been an extraordinary collaboration between Irving Penn, one of the great photographers of the century, and the designer Issey Miyake, one of the few figures to have taken clothes design into the realm of art. "Penn's photographs allow me to see my own designs," claims Miyake. These photographs define Miyake's work on the printed page. Miyake's astonishing forms and textures have offered Penn subjects that echo both a primitive tribal beauty and the most futuristic fashion. As the century draws to a close, the barriers that traditionally separated East and West are diminishing. The sources for inspiration for both men are global, stretching from Africa to Miyake's Japan. This book is a culmination of a certain period in their creative lives.
