In 1995, Irving Penn donated his professional archives, along with a set of prints, to The Art Institute of Chicago. Following this, a major exhibition was staged to survey the work of this great twentieth-century photographer. This is the resulting catalogue. Penn's photographs across many different genres and periods are illustrated here, including his fashion, portraiture, nudes, still life, advertising, and ethnographic work. This copy is inscribed by Penn to Marguerite and Mark Littman. Marguerite was an American socialite and AIDS campaigner, as well as being the likely inspiration for her friend Truman Capote's Holly Golightly.
