Description from the seller
Pirelli: The Calendar – 50 Years and More
Publisher: Taschen, 2015
Pages: approx. 574
Language: multilingual edition (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish)
Condition: very good to excellent
Binding: large-format hardcover
This monumental volume celebrates half a century of the iconic Pirelli Calendar, known worldwide simply as The Cal. Published by Taschen in 2015, it offers a comprehensive retrospective from the calendar’s first edition in 1964 up to its contemporary transformations, charting the evolution of fashion, photography, and cultural ideals of beauty.
The book features a rich selection of photographs by the most celebrated image-makers of the past five decades — including Richard Avedon, Peter Lindbergh, Annie Leibovitz, Karl Lagerfeld, and many others — alongside portraits of supermodels and cultural icons such as Gisele Bündchen, Naomi Campbell, and Kate Moss.
Through more than 500 pages of archival images, unpublished photographs, and behind-the-scenes material, this luxurious edition offers both visual delight and historical depth. The Cal is presented not only as an exclusive art object, but also as a mirror of changing aesthetics, gender perceptions, and social narratives over five decades.
Produced to Taschen’s signature standards of print quality and design, Pirelli: The Calendar – 50 Years and More is an essential collector’s volume for lovers of fashion photography and contemporary visual culture.
Seller's Story
I strive to find and offer you the most interesting items from Prague’s antiquarian bookstores and second-hand shops: autographs, rarities, photographs, bibliophilia, old prints, posters, maps, catalogs, high-quality or sold-out books, as well as fine art.
Prague has always been a meeting point of cultures and languages. Especially during the 20th century, Czechoslovakia was visited by numerous world-renowned artists, writers, scientists, and other notable figures who left their mark here and established connections with local culture or institutions. So the selection here will be rich in provenance — including German, French, English, Russian, or, for example, Italian.
However, I will also aim to highlight more or less well-known Czech artists and noteworthy items — of interest to collectors and art lovers, especially those passionate about autographs, fine art, and related fields.
