ISBN: 9783791354255.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe renowned photographer Catherine Opie takes on a challenging documentary project— an \"indirect portrait\" of Elizabeth Taylor through her home and possessions. One of America’s most celebrated living photographers, Catherine Opie works in series that are remarkably varied in\nboth style and subject matter—from intimate portraits of the\nLGBTQ community to beautiful, nearly-abstract landscapes\nfeaturing ice-fishing houses. Expanding that astonishing\nrange of subjects further is Opie’s ambitious recent series of\nphotographs taken at the home of late movie star Elizabeth\nTaylor. Though glamour and celebrity are not common\nthemes in her work, Opie was inspired by the possibilities this\nproject offered—recalling William Eggleston’s series on Elvis\nPresley’s Graceland, or her own photographs of Obama’s\n2008 inauguration, both of which represent indirect portraits\nof their subjects. The images in this moving collection\nwere culled from photos Opie took over the course of six\nmonths, both on the grounds of and inside Taylor’s home.\nThe subjects are wildly diverse—a dog-eared remote control\nmanual, close-ups of Taylor’s enormous closets, shelves of\ntchotchkes and priceless works of art—telling more about\nTaylor’s life than any \"celebrity\" portrait ever could. Through\nOpie’s thoughtful curation, Taylor’s home tells a poignant\nstory and reveals the arc of a fascinating life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Prestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44878388953141,"sku":"ByrdShop_3791354256","price":312.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_3791354256_14a13d84-eb31-40cb-bb1a-b00788f95a30.jpg?v=1789521257","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/700-nimes-road-9783791354255","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
