Face to Face: The Photographs of Camilla McGrath
by: Camilla McGrath, Andrea Di Robilant, et al.

Hardcover. NY, Knopf, 1st, 2020, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, hardcover, 695 photographs. "[A] spectacular collection of images from the personal archives of Italian countess Camilla McGrath (1925-2007). McGrath and her husband, Earl--at various times a screenwriter, record producer, and art curator--had an outsized social life, and the sheer number of celebrities who passed through their orbit is mind-boggling. Among the photographs are ones capturing Jackie Kennedy lounging by a pool, Andy Warhol smiling alongside his dachshund Archie, and vacation shots with Princess Margaret and Bianca Jagger. As art dealer Beatrice Monti remembers of McGrath's gift, "She was able to capture something of each one of us even in the middle of a party." . . . These spellbinding photos will beguile photographers, artists, and those enamored of the glamour of a bygone era." No dj issued.
