Schirmer/Mosel, 2008

Since the early 1980s, Bettina Rheims has been the most sought-after French photographer. From her very beginnings, the female body has been the central focus of her work. Her unusual and provocative portrais and nude images each reveal a hidden part of the subject. She regularly caused stirs with projects such as Chambre close (1992), the story of a Paris voyeur watching women in hotels; KIM, a documentary on a transsexual; I.N. R. I. (1999), a sequence on the life of Christ, Shanghai (2004), featuring women in the midst of a powerful cultural, economic and spiritual evolution, and, most recently, Heroines (2006).
This volume "Can you find happiness" is a Best of survey of Bettina Rheims' photographic oeuvre of 30 years.

With pictures from Monica Bellucci, Kristin Scott Thomas, Charlotte Rampling, Sophie Dahl, Sharon Stone, Vanessa Paradis, Salma Hayek, Ludivine Seignier , Claudia Schiffer, and others

The book will be securely packaged and shipped with Track & Trace.

Seller's Story

Almost thirty years ago I started collecting comics and "Para BD" (silkscreens, postcards, original drawings, etc.), initially somewhat more general, later especially focused on Jean-Pierre Gibrat and François Bourgeon (of whom I own a large collection). Lately my attention is turning more and more toward art and photography books. In 2024 I decided to sell part of this collection, and these are the items you can find here on Catawiki. I have always taken great care of all the items in my collection, and I continue to do so when shipping my sold items, so that you as a buyer can be satisfied with your purchase. Don't hesitate if you have questions for me; I always try to respond quickly. Good auction!
