VERUSCHKA
Published by Assouline
“An indomitable career of beauty.”- Susan Sontag
Veruschka lavishly explores her life and career through interviews with luminaries such as Diana Vreeland and Grace Mirabella; through the photographs of Richard Avedon, Scavullo, Irving Penn, Steven Meisel, Bert Stern, and Rubartelli, among others; through magazine covers charting her ascension as model and icon; and through her own thoughts, musings, and memories.
Page after page of photography reveals a story of adventure, of a changing culture, and of exquisite beauty.
As a model, stylist, and creative conspirator, Veruschka exudes intelligence and strength.
This limited-edition volume pays homage to the woman who helped to forever change the landscape of fashion and photography.
Today, Lehndorff works as an independent artist in Berlin. Australian-born David Wills has dedicated his life to preserving photographic film history through his archive of photographs, negatives, and transparencies. He has contributed to exhibitions in many museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Wills lives in Los Angeles.
