Hardcover. NY, Assouline Publishing , 1st, 2010, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 200 pages. In 2008, the Museum of Modern Art acquired a wide range of George Lois's groundbreaking Esquire magazine covers and put them on display for a full year. The Esquire Covers at MoMA collects the entirety of that exhibit, many more covers, and unseen images from Lois's private collection, including personal photographs of the designer at work and outtakes of a shoot with Andy Warhol. George Lois, who led advertising's creative revolution in the 1960s, was hand-picked by the legendary editor Harold Hayes to convey visually that Esquire--a leading proponent of another creative revolution of the time, New Journalism--was on the cutting edge of profound changes in American culture. With images of JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King, Jr. watching over Arlington National Cemetery; of Richard Nixon under the makeup-artist's powder-puff; and of Muhammad Ali as the martyred Saint Sebastian, he did just that.

For some of their photographs, such as their portrait of Bjork or campaign for Givenchy, van Lamsweerde and Matadin have worked in collaboration with the art directors M/M (Paris), who have also designed this retrospective that looks back at pretty much everything? that the photographers have been working on for over two decades and that has brought them to the forefront in the fields of both art and fashion. 702 pages. 11 x 11 inches.
