David Bailey (SUMO)

In 1965, portrait and fashion photographer David Bailey released his groundbreaking book Box Of Pin-Ups, establishing himself as a hip tastemaker for 1960s London cool. With Mick Jagger as best man at his wedding to Catherine Deneuve, Bailey was also the inspiration for the classic film Blow-Up. From the Swinging '60s until today, Bailey never stopped pushing the boundaries of his signature in-your-face portraits, and he is widely regarded as one of the great postwar photographers.

This SUMO-sized coffee table book by David Bailey is the culmination of an incredible career, the result of two years of research in his personal archives. Through penetrating photographs of the beautiful and the infamous, the idolized and the powerful, friends and family, writers, artists and fellow photographers, Bailey presents a sweeping cultural history of the past 60 years. Featured subjects include Andy Warhol, Salvador Dalí, Kate Moss, Nelson Mandela, Francis Bacon, Zaha Hadid, the Rolling Stones, Jack Nicholson, Brigitte Bardot, Margaret Thatcher and hundreds of others. As his friend Damien Hirst writes in the foreword: "He is the master of his art and he has created a stunning visual language.
