Waits/corbijn '77-'11
Tags:

"WAITS/CORBIJN '77-'11, a collectors edition linen slipcase book limited to 6,600 copies, is the celebration of an artistic collaboration that reaches back more than 35 years, to those first black-and-white photographs of Tom Waits taken by a young and virtually unknown Anton Corbijn in Holland in 1977. The coffee table art book not only features over 200 pages of Waits portraits taken by Corbijn over four decades, but also includes over 50 pages of the first published collection of musings and photographs taken by Waits himself. Corbijn would go on to acclaim for his iconic, enigmatic portraits of musicians and other artists, also becoming a pioneer in music video and, more recently, an award-winning director of feature films. Waits's own photography, collected here for the first time under the title "Curiosities", gives a visual handle to the artistic intelligence millions of fans know only through his music."
