Limited Art Edition narrates the photographer’s career through his own lens and includes three prints signed by LaChapelle.<ul><li>Sold as a set of 5.</li><li>David LaChapelle (American).</li><li>Köln: Taschen, 2017.</li><li>554 pages, two volumes.</li><li>Hardcover.</li><li>Three prints on Canson Baryta paper, each numbered and signed by David LaChapelle.</li><li>Edition of 500.</li><li>Presented in a clamshell box with foldouts.</li></ul> From the beatific to the irreverent, the photography of David LaChapelle has never failed to provoke through its surreal homage to art history, celebrities and fashion.&nbsp;&nbsp;Born in Connecticut, LaChapelle enrolled at North Carolina School of the Arts, where he experimented with painting film negatives to bring out the colors’ intensity. After a showcase at NYC’s Gallery 303, he was hired as a photographer by Andy Warhol for&nbsp;Interview. This entry into the fashion world led to doing covers for&nbsp;GQ,&nbsp;Rolling Stone,&nbsp;Vanity Fair&nbsp;and&nbsp;Vogue. Pushing the boundaries of social commentary, his subversive shot of two sailors kissing for Diesel in 1995 made waves as the first homosexual kiss in an advertisement when “don’t ask, don’t tell” was mandated in the U.S. armed forces.&nbsp;&nbsp;Influenced by the likes of Caravaggio, Andy Warhol and Salvador Dalí, LaChapelle frequently stages imaginative tableaus with celebrities and models as religious stand-ins, merging his themes of paradise and materialism. His work is both luminescent and deliberately garish with well-known faces like Kim Kardashian and Madonna. As one of the most published photographers in the world, LaChapelle’s solo exhibits have ranged from LACMA to the National Portrait Gallery in D.C. and the Musée d’Orsay.&nbsp;

When his family fled Nazi Germany in 1938, Newton brought two cameras which allowed him to work in Singapore as a photographer. After internment by British authorities sent him to a camp in Australia, he joined the army to fight in WWII and became a British citizen, changing his name from Neustädter to Newton.&nbsp;&nbsp;Newton founded his business in Melbourne and married June Browne (who later became a successful photographer using the pseudonym Alice Springs). Commissioned to illustrate fashion for an Australian supplement of&nbsp;Vogue, Newton won&nbsp;ongoing work for the famed magazine, leading him throughout Europe. Influenced by Alfred Hitchcock and French New Wave, he developed a distinctive cinematic style. His themes of erotica, confrontational nudes and S&amp;M earned him notoriety while cementing his place in photography’s history. In 2003, Newton and his wife established the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin, a cultural mecca that preserves his legacy with ongoing talks and exhibits.

Since it was&nbsp;established in 1824, the&nbsp;National Gallery&nbsp;has become a&nbsp;beacon for London's visitors and residents alike. From its inception in John Julius Angerstein's home in Mayfair to its current home in Trafalgar Square, it&nbsp;has expanded both its collection and its footprint to become one of the world's leading galleries. This book features photography by&nbsp;David Dawson,&nbsp;Massimo Listri, and Mary McCartney. It brings together over 200 of the Gallery's paintings, which were made between the 13th and 20th centuries, including&nbsp;memorable masterpieces from both the famous and the forgotten. These pages&nbsp;tell the history of painting in the Western European tradition&nbsp;through the&nbsp;National Gallery's collection. You’ll go on a visual journey through the centuries, with works by&nbsp;Duccio, Van Eyck, Raphael, Titian,&nbsp;Rembrandt, Vigée Le Brun, Gainsborough, Morisot, and Matisse, to name just a few. Punctuating this story are contributions by and photographic portraits of 25 cultural figures, such as&nbsp;Frank Auerbach, Alvaro Barrington, Edward Enninful,&nbsp;David Hockney, Kim Jones, Damian Lewis, Sahara Longe, Chris Ofili,&nbsp;Ai Weiwei, Rachel Whiteread, Annabelle Selldorf, and Flora Yukhnovich, among others. This Art Edition by Chris Ofili&nbsp;comprises&nbsp;100 copies with the numbered (No. 1–100) and signed print&nbsp;The Caged Bird’s Song (Voyeur), 2024.&nbsp;Chris Ofili’s atmospheric and enigmatic paintings investigate the intersection of desire, identity, and representation. Portraying characters from a range of aesthetic and cultural sources through a kaleidoscopic visual mode that bridges abstraction and figuration, his works serve as sites for journeys of creative transformation. He won the Turner Prize in 1998 and over the past two decades has exhibited in many international institutions. In 2003 he was selected to represent Britain at the 50th Venice Biennale, where he presented his ambitious exhibition, "Within Reach". In 2010 Tate Britain presented an extensive survey of his work and in 2014, "Night and Day", held at the New Museum, New York, featured more than thirty of Ofili’s major paintings, in addition to drawings and a selection of sculptures from across his career.

Featuring dozens of assignments from the pages of Vogue and Tatler and icons such as Jerry Hall, Tina Turner, and Yves Saint Laurent. In the 1980s, fashion wanted to make a statement and found in legendary British fashion photographer David Bailey its perfect chronicler. After Bailey shaped the style of the Swinging Sixties, fashion in the eighties posed a new challenge: brighter colors, higher glamour, statuesque models, extreme makeup, spandex, lycra, jumpsuits, power dressing, big hair, and as Grace Coddington puts it in her introduction, “jackets with padded shoulders over the shortest mini-skirts and dangerously high-heeled shoes.” Eighties compiles Bailey’s era-defining fashion photography from the pages of Vogue Italia, Vogue Paris, Tatler, and countless others. Featuring couture, catwalk, and ready-to-wear collections by the epoch’s seminal designers, including Azzedine Alaïa, Comme des Garçons, Guy Laroche, Missoni, Stephen Jones, Valentino, and Yves Saint Laurent, the book stands as a testament to a decade that dismantled hierarchies of taste to reintroduce fun and sex into fashion, reminding us that we need not think of either as dirty words. Here, the jewellery sparkles, the silks shimmer, and the suits sprawl. The most beautiful are captured at their most playful, invincible, and provocatively sexy. We see fabled 1980s icons and beauties: Catherine Bailey, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Catherine Deneuve, Princess Diana, Jerry Hall, Marie Helvin, Grace Jones, Kelly LeBrock, Christy Turlington, Tina Turner, and many more. The cultural resonances of the 1980s present on our screens, runways, and concert stages make today ideal for recontextualizing its enduring legacy of maximalism and excess. Eighties offers a unique opportunity to do so with David Bailey as a guide, and interpreter, who’s never afraid to wink at his audience. As Bailey says in his foreword, “The eighties turned out to be magic.” Here, that magic comes alive. London-born David Bailey (b. 1938) is widely acknowledged as one of the founding fathers of contemporary photography, having shot some of the most iconic portraits of the last six decades. Bailey’s early work helped both define and capture 1960s London, when he made stars of a new generation of models, including Jean Shrimpton and Penelope Tree. Bailey channeled the energy of London’s informal street culture to create a new style of casual coolness. Drawing inspiration from Modernism, he injected movement and immediacy into his work by using a very direct, cropped perspective. Bailey’s interests extend to commercials, film, painting, and sculpture.

This fearless, peerless and impeccably British character, created in 1953 by Ian Fleming, has starred in twenty-five EON-produced films, played by six different actors over seven decades. And still the franchise continues. To tell the full story of how it all began, EON Productions opened its archives of photos, designs, and production materials to TASCHEN. The result is&nbsp;this remarkable account of the making of&nbsp;Dr. No, Bond’s first film outing:&nbsp;a beautiful volume that includes a treasure trove of words and pictures, many of which have never been seen before. Access to EON’s&nbsp;James Bond&nbsp;archives was completely unrestricted, so this book is the most comprehensive account of one of the most iconic films the world has ever seen. Step inside the pages to find the true inside story and&nbsp;outstanding insights into the personalities and processes behind the most successful and longest-running film franchise in cinema history. You can closely follow the making of the film through a day-by-day account of what took place, which scenes were shot and who made the decisions that shaped the story and characters as it was filmed.&nbsp;Among the 1007 images, you’ll see many rare and previously unpublished stills and on-set shots&nbsp;from photographers such as Bert Cann, Bunny Yaeger and Bradley Smith, as well as memos, documents, posters, and production designs. And&nbsp;the behind-the-scenes stories paint their own pictures too, told by the people who were there. From producers Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli and Harry Saltzman to director Terence Young and production designer Ken Adam, as well as the cast, the crew, writers and stuntmen, these personal narratives invite readers back in time and on to the film set itself. For any fan, it’s&nbsp;a fantastic insight into how the Bond cinematic world was born&nbsp;– and its comprehensive coverage of the filming experience which will grip you from the first page.

This volume includes&nbsp;rare animation drawings, vintage comics,&nbsp;behind-the-scenes photographs, charming memorabilia, unfinished film projects, and unpublished&nbsp;artworks by “the Duck Man,” master storyteller Carl Barks. Nothing succeeds like success, as the saying goes, but in the case of&nbsp;Donald Duck&nbsp;the opposite is true: the candor with which Donald reveals his weaknesses wins our hearts and stays with us forever. Revisit&nbsp;Donald’s life’s work&nbsp;from nine decades in&nbsp;one of the most expansive illustrated publications on the&nbsp;Disney&nbsp;universe. Following&nbsp;Walt&nbsp;Disney’s Mickey Mouse: The Ultimate History&nbsp;by TASCHEN, we witness the career of Mickey’s only rival for the throne as&nbsp;Disney’s most popular creation. From his debut in the Silly Symphony short film&nbsp;The Wise Little Hen&nbsp;on June 9, 1934, the authors trace Donald’s&nbsp;more than 170 cartoons, groundbreaking adventures in comics and TV, and theme park appearances. As a special treat to his fans, they also dive deep into the vaults to tell the story of his unfinished film projects. With&nbsp;unprecedented access to&nbsp;Disney’s vast historical archives and collections&nbsp;as well as public and private collections, the authors illuminate Donald’s life story with&nbsp;rare concept art, story sketches, background paintings, animation, and&nbsp;comic drawings&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;historical photographs. We encounter the work of all major Donald artists in both film and comics who defined his character, including a vast tribute to the “Duck Man” himself, master storyteller&nbsp;Carl Barks, alongside unseen early storyboard drawings. In the history of comics,&nbsp;Donald Duck&nbsp;is the&nbsp;most frequently printed character outside the superhero genre, and has appeared on screen more often than any other&nbsp;Disney&nbsp;star. Since the 1950s, Duckburg has expanded into a truly global village, with American artists being joined by a new generation of international colleagues. As Carl Barks once said of Donald: “He is everything, he is everybody; he makes the same mistakes that we all make.” He may often be unlucky, but this is precisely why everybody can relate to the world’s most famous and best loved Duck, fittingly celebrated with this monumental tribute. The Collector’s Edition brings several extras, that will delight every Donald fan:&nbsp;Eight pieces of concept art, exclusively printed on premium paper and stored in a lavishly produced portfolio, pay tribute to Donald's classic South American Features.&nbsp;Also included is a facsimile reproduction of the unabridged, final storyboard&nbsp;for the&nbsp;Donald Duck&nbsp;short film&nbsp;Sea Scouts&nbsp;that contains 132 pages of first drafts for most of the scenes of the film.&nbsp;The Collector’s Edition is limited to 1,000 copies&nbsp;and comes in a specially manufactured clamshell box that houses the book, the prints and the storyboard binder.

Sold out upon its release in 2006, no further Collector's Editions have been produced, making this an exceptionally rare find for collectors. This collection is not only stunning but is also a monumental work of art in its own right.
