“[a] gorgeous anthology of fashion images … leibovitz is nothing less than america’s greatest living photographic portraitist … she has changed fashion photography forever.”  – anna wintour

legendary photographer annie leibovitz’s surprising account of her encounters with fashion over five decades

‘looking back at my work, i see that fashion has always been there,’ annie leibovitz observes in the preface to wonderland. ‘fashion plays a part in the scheme of everything, but photography always comes first for me. the photograph is the most important part.  and photography is so big that it can encompass journalism, portraiture, reportage, family photographs, fashion ... my work for vogue fueled the fire for a kind of photography that i might not otherwise have explored.’ 

includes 350 extraordinary images (many of them previously unpublished) featuring a wide and diverse range of subjects: nicole kidman, serena williams, pina bausch, rupaul, cate blanchett, lady gaga, matthew barney, kate moss, natalia vodianova, rihanna, chimamanda ngozi adichie, karl lagerfeld, nancy pelosi. foreword by anna wintour.

this beautifully designed clothbound book brings together the 'Palabrarmas' series by the chilean-born artist, poet and activist cecilia vicuña (born 1948).

images of these works―each a powerful juxtaposition of color, poetry and politics―appear alongside new essays and historical references chosen with the artist. palabrarmas, a neologism that translates to "word weapons" or "word arms," imagine new ways of seeing language. taking the form of collages, silkscreens, drawings, poems, fabric banners, cutouts, mixed-media installations and street actions, vicuña’s palabarmas bring together her work in poetry, activism and visual art. each one unpacks and deconstructs single words to reveal other words hiding within them, allowing new meanings to emerge.

the artist began making these visual anagrams while in exile in london and bogotá after the pinochet-led coup of 1973 in chile, and has always seen them as a form of liberation―as a way to "open up minds by opening up words," as she puts it. the palabarmas have taken on new relevance in today’s political climate, and appeared on the streets during chile’s 2019 revolution as protest signs. this book presents a range of palabrarmas in color for the first time, with new essays by mónica de la torre, carla macchiavello, cecilia vicuña and jeanne gerrity, and reprinted texts by rené daumal, robert randall and simón rodríguez.
