PATTI SMITH, LAND 250 Distributed on behalf of the Fondation Cartier, Paris Photos by a key figure in modern music, noted for the way she integrates performance poetry with garage-band rock and roll
Patti Smith is known most widely
as a musical artist and a poet, but
her creative energies are not limited
to those genres. This book offers
a chance to explore the
photography of the punk poetess. Published
to accompany an exhibition at
the Fondation Cartier Pour
L’Art Contemporain in Paris, it
presents hundreds of Polaroids and
black-and-white photographs, plus commentaries
by the artist.
The exhibition took place from March to June 2008,
and many of the photographs were created especially for the show. The book
celebrates a lesser-known string to Patti Smith’s bow, presenting an
iconographic world in which films, drawings, and photographs
converge. ISBN 978-0-500-97681-4 · 9" x 11" · 250 illustrations · 300 pages · ART |
