Jonathan Becker: Lost Time

The coffee table book "Lost Time" is the first retrospective monograph on photographer Jonathan Becker, one of the great visual storytellers of our time.

Over the course of five decades, Jonathan Becker has produced evocative photographic work documenting the lives of the twentieth-century beau monde. A protégé of legendary Parisian photographer Brassaï and a longtime contributor to Vanity Fair, Becker's work offers a link between fine-art photography and the notion of the photographer as social observer.

Bringing together commissioned and personal work, this stunning collection presents more than 200 photographs from Becker's career, charting his travels in New York, Paris, London and Buenos Aires from the 1970s to 2010. Portraits of artists Ed Ruscha and Cindy Sherman, writers Arthur Miller and Eudora Welty, musicians David Bowie and Mick Jagger and others reveal Becker's extraordinary eye and astute sociological observations.

The monograph includes an introductory text by the book's editor, Mark Holborn, along with a narrative text by Becker about his life, travels and encounters with some of the most famous figures of the 20th century. This luxurious collection is brilliantly reproduced and packaged in a cloth cassette. It is a fascinating and essential book that showcases Becker as one of the most important chroniclers of our time.
