Duane Michals: Portraits

Duane Michals has long been recognized for his inventive photo sequences, which shaped the work of several generations of artists. But even as he enjoys wide acclaim, a central body of work by the eighty-five-year-old artist remains little known. For decades, Michals was a sought-after editorial photographer for leading magazines, in which he portrayed many of the outstanding creative personalities of our era, including Tilda Swinton, Johnny Cash, Robin Williams, Andy Warhol, David Hockney, René Magritte and Jasper Johns. This comprehensive selection of his revealing portraits – many not previously published in book form – acompanied by Michals’s inimitable, sometimes hilarious, observations and reminiscences, will delight his fans and engage his new admirers.
