About this list:

when you see photos of glamourous homes in glossy shelter magazines do you scope out what the homeowner has on their bookshelves? then this is your list. every volume i choose must have at least 2 of these qualities - engrossing content, beautiful spine or dust jacket, interest of the client, or irony. i always make sure to sneak in a few surprises too, that way you can find out which clients actually read their books. these picks plus great vintage volumes & you're camera ready!

Qualifications:

Carlo Mollino: Polaroids

First to recommend

Description

Oh, Carlo. You were an architect, a fabulous furniture designer, race car enthusiast & who knew - a master of the polaroid camera. You chose to keep your pics of beautiful naked prostitutes all to yourself which made us covet them even more when they were discovered. You know what you do to us! This book is pricey but its safe to say no one else you know will have it & everyone will want it! So vintage & so cool.

David LaChapelle - Artists & Prostitutes

First to recommend

Description

david lachapelle makes glossy plastic images - new surrealism - in acid brights with a little paradox thrown in for good measure. my favorite is his portrait of angelina jolie. sublime.
