The definitive book on the work of a virtuosic and revered American photographer.

Irving Penn: Centennial is essential for any fan of this artist’s work or the history of 20th-century photography.

The Metropolitan Museum of arte
First Edition 2017



Irving Penn (1917–2009) was among the most esteemed and influential photographers of the 20th century. Over the course of a nearly seventy-year career, he mastered a pared-down aesthetic of studio photography that is distinguished for its meticulous attention to composition, nuance, and detail. This indispensable book features one of the largest selections of Penn’s photographs ever compiled, including famous and beloved images as well as works that have never been published.

Celebrating the centennial of Penn’s birth, this lavish volume spans the entirety of his groundbreaking career. An enlightening introduction situates his work in the context of the various artistic, social, and political environments and events that affected the content of his photographs. Lively essays acquaint readers with Penn’s primary subjects and campaigns, including early documentary scenes and imagery; portraits; fashion; female nudes; peoples of Peru, Dahomey (Benin), New Guinea, and Morocco; still lifes; and much more.

Grazie ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Petit livret en parfait état et très bien protégé. Par contre il aurait été préférable que vous indiquiez dans votre annonce les dimensions de ce livret, soit 15 cm/12cm. Les photos sont très petites.

We are sorry for this situation, but the dimensions of the book are those released by the publisher, there are no other dimensions. Regarding the measurements, these are not reported because it is not information required for books. The photos inserted in the Auction are the real ones of the book for sale. In any case, if you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can return the book by sending a request via catawiki, we will be happy to assist you with this. Thanks again for your feedback. ❤️
