'Epic, stunning, and completely delicious. Jonathan Becker: Lost Time is a fitting legacy for one of the true photographic masters of our age.' - Graydon Carter, founder and co-editor of Air Mail and former editor of Vanity Fair
The first retrospective monograph on photographer Jonathan Becker, one of the great visual storytellers of our time
Over the course of five decades, Jonathan Becker has produced a body of evocative photographic work that documents lives of the twentieth-century beau monde.
A protégé of legendary Parisian photographer Brassaï and a longtime contributor to Vanity Fair, Becker's work provides a link between fine-art photography and the notion of the photographer as social observer.
Bringing together commissioned and personal work, this stunning collection presents more than 200 images from across Becker's career, charting his journeys in New York, Paris, London, and Buenos Aires from the 1970s to the 2010s. Portraits of artists Ed Ruscha and Cindy Sherman, writers Arthur Miller and Eudora Welty, musicians David Bowie and Mick Jagger, and others reveal Becker's exceptional eye and astute sociological observations.
The monograph includes an introductory text by the book's editor, Mark Holborn, along with a narrative text by Becker about his life, travels, and encounters with some of the most well-known figures in the twentieth century. Brilliantly reproduced and housed in a cloth case, this luxurious collection is a captivating and essential book that reveals Becker as one of the premier chroniclers of our time.
Includes Becker's portraits of figures such as: Peter Beard, HRH King Charles III, Fran Lebowitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Arthur Miller, Jackie O., Gwyneth Paltrow, Cindy Sherman, André Leon Talley, François Truffaut, Gloria Vanderbilt, Gore Vidal, Diana Vreeland, Andy Warhol, and many more.
