A member of a famous artist-owned agency, this photographer found himself wherever history was happening during the late twentieth century. His countless travels took him across Europe and the Americas to the Middle East, Japan, and China to document major events of the era. His extraordinary sense for people and their personalities resulted in remarkably candid portraits of celebrated architects and artists, and a world-famous 1963 portrait with a cigar remains one of the most widely reproduced photographic portraits ever made. Drawing from his vast archive, this book brings together his entire body of work, including previously unpublished archival documents, book designs, exhibition projects, travel diaries, collages, watercolors, and objects he collected.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
