First Edition/First Printing. 95 pages. Exhibition Catalog. One of the best celebrity-portrait collections of our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. There is no ISBN. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and Marcello Francone: Oversize-volume format.

Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Milan, Italy to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Museo Carlo Bilotti Rome from October 17, 2007 through January 13, 2008. Presents Timothy Greenfield-Sanders' "Movie Stars". A veritable feast. Here are Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, Matthew Broderick, Matt Dillon, Anne Hathaway, Ethan Hawke, Alfred Hitchcock, Nicole Kidman, Jodie Foster, Julianne Moore, Guy Pearce, Vanessa Redgrave, Steven Spielberg, and Orson Welles, among many others, in some of their most soulful sittings ever, in "pictures of people who are looking at us". Every single portrait is "full-frontal", with the subject looking straight into the camera, shyly and confidently, casually and seriously, a compelling, undeniable presence, which surely helps explain why they are stars in the first place. The photographs are composed with a simplicity, rigor, and austerity that remind one of the work of Peter Hujar, except that it's all in color. There is none of the knowing "inside" joke or sly comment one finds in most "post-modern" portraiture. An absolute "must-have" title for Timothy Greenfield-Sanders collectors. <b><i> This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed and inscribed in black pen-marker on the title page by the photographer: "For Betsy, You are (followed by an arrow pointing to the printed title) a movie star! Timothy Greenfield-Sanders". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, who is named and flattered, is personally known to the photographer. This title is a contemporary photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. A rare signed copy thus. </b></i> 50 plates.

Caroline Bouvier Kennedy (born November 27, 1957) is an American author, attorney, and diplomat who served as the United States Ambassador to Japan from 2013 to 2017. She is a member of the Kennedy family and the only surviving child of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Kennedy graduated from Radcliffe College and worked at Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she met her future husband, exhibit designer Edwin Schlossberg. She later earned a J.D. degree from Columbia Law School. Most of Kennedy's professional life has spanned law and politics, as well as education reform and charitable work. She has also acted as a spokesperson for her family's legacy and co-authored two books with Ellen Aldermanon on civil liberties. Just in time for the holidays: a collection of beloved Christmas stories and writings that every family will cherish. One of the many joys of Christmas comes from the traditions associated with it. Bestselling author Caroline Kennedy drew on her own family's traditions to create this charming collection of favorite stories, poems, and writings that celebrate the holiday spirit. In addition to excerpts and full texts of contemporary and classic writings, A Family Christmas features a letter Caroline Kennedy herself wrote to Santa Claus as well as a letter written to President Kennedy from a little girl concerned about Santa Claus. The introduction, written and read by Caroline, relates the importance of the holiday to her family, and shares how the literature in this collection is an essential part of her own tradition. This warm and personal collection will delight all who make it a part of their own family Christmas. "When I began assembling [this] collection, I was skeptical that I would learn anything new about Christmas, but reading and reflecting on the history and spirit of Christmas brought back many memories, and taught me a great deal. . . . The literature of Christmas ranges from the miraculous to the tragic, the profound to the ridiculous, but always represents the connection to something larger than ourselves." --Caroline Kennedy. In A Family Christmas, Caroline shares the Christmas poetry, prose, scriptural readings, and lyrics that are most dear to her, drawing on authors as diverse as Harper Lee, Nikki Giovanni, Martin Luther King Jr., Billy Collins, John and Yoko, and Charles Dickens. There are also many lesser-known gems throughout and personal treasures from her own family--including a young Caroline's Christmas list to Santa Claus and a letter from her father as President to a child concerned about Santa's well-being. This diverse and unique anthology will become a timeless keepsake, and will enrich your heart and mind with the spirit of Christmas. A Family Christmas includes selections from: Groucho Marx, Emma Lazarus, Mark Twain, Sandra Cisneros, Pearl S. Buck, Truman Capote, Gabriela Mistral, Ogden Nash, Clement Clarke Moore, Vladimir Nabokov, Marianne Moore, Calvin Trillin, E. B.

"After the fall of Sir Robert Walpole, Britain's first 'prime' minister, from political power in 1742, most of his celebrated collection of Old Master paintings was removed to his newly-built Palladian house in Norfolk, Houghton Hall. In 1779 this collection was sold by Sir Robert's grandson to the Empress Catherine II of Russia, which was seen as a scandalous loss to Britain. This book catalogues for the first time the entire collection in Russia as well as those works of art that remained at Houghton Hall. Accompanying the catalogue are essays on various aspects of the formation and sale of the collection." (dj) The main portion of the annotated and illustrated catalogue presents 274 pieces.

An unmarked copy in excellent condition, published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name held at NGV Ian Potter Centre August-October 2006 "celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of one the most important series in twentieth century Australian art. Long admired as a pinnacle of Blackman's achievement, our appreciation of this series has, however, long been hindered by its general inaccessibility. Until very recently only two works were in public collections." (quote from acknowledgements essay page 9 of the book). Paperback. Nr. Fine., National Gallery of Victoria, 2007, 5<
