Scavullo: Photographs, 50 years is the definitive collection of his work, and showcases the enormity and variety of his passion for taking pictures. Here, in this superb book of 100 full-color pictures and 125 in duotone, are portraits of the world's most beautiful women - Sophia Loren, Catherine Deneuve, Isabella Rossellini, Elizabeth Taylor - and those whose careers and stature has become legendary. Among them: Mikhail Baryshnikov, Shirley MacLaine, Mick Jagger, Sting, Raul Julia, Barbra Streisand, Julie Andrews, Diana Ross, Andy Warhol, Margaux Hemingway, Edward Albee, Christopher Reeve, Susan Sarandon, Candice Bergen, Diana Vreeland, Truman Capote. There are special sections on Brooke Shields, whom Scavullo first photographed when she was only seven months old for an Ivory soap ad, Lauren Hutton, Rene Russo, Madonna, and Janis Joplin, the latter in a group of images never before published. And of course there are the models - from Veruschka to Iman to Claudia Schiffer - who are made forever more beautiful by Scavullo. With an introduction by Enid Nemy, a feature writer for The New York Times, and personal commentaries throughout by the photographer as well as an illustrated chronology, this exceptional book forms the photographer's most complete, intimate portrait of his life and work.
