For 50 Years

.
L'Amour Fou, a documentary which premiered stateside at the Tribeca Film Festival last month, follows the love between Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé by chronicling the development of their legendary art collection, recently auctioned by Christie's for $480,000,000.

Read an interview with the film's director, Pierre Thoretton – and watch a long-lost video by photographer Jeanloup Sieff wherein Yves answers the Proust questionnaire – at The Moment.

3-2-1 Contact

.
A contact sheet of photos by Jeanloup Sieff, featured in The Contact Sheet – a new book by Steve Crist exploring the editing process behind some of the most iconic images and photographers of the 20th century. This particular selection of shots produced the photo below, which appeared in a 1964 Harper's Bazaar editorial.

The Contact Sheet is published by Ammo Books.
See also: A Few Frames: Photography and the Contact Sheet, on view through January 3rd at the Whitney.

Photo Sharing

.
Doing research for another project recently I realized that there is a fairly extensive website for one of my favorite photographers, Jeanloup Sieff (Paris, 1933–2000). Sieff was most active in the mid-sixties, shooting for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and other fashion magazines. I particularly love his outdoor fashion and portrait shots. The images above (click to enlarge) are from the site and from this 1968 book I found at the ICP book sale several months ago (a steal at $5, even if the pages are a little yellow). Taschen produced a much larger book a few years ago and you can buy it on sale here.

Check out the Jeanloup Sieff website at jeanloupsieff.com.
