Elliott Erwitt

To mark the 40th anniversary of the first teNeues coffee table book, some all-time favourites are celebrated in a beautiful, affordable softcover edition that fits perfectly on any bookshelf. As the title suggests, the book includes Elliott Erwitt's best and most personal photographs. Each photograph in the book is an iconic portrait of his unique art of decades of photography - true to his style in black and white.

Elliott Erwitt was one of the greatest of his profession. His photographs have shaped the visual history of the 20th century and continue to have an impact in the 21st century. Although Erwitt's work spans several decades and continents as well as numerous themes, it is always instantly recognisable. His spontaneous and original visions speak of true artistry without ever appearing artificial.

For this collection, Erwitt himself selected the photographs that he considers to be his best. Anyone leafing through this carefully edited retrospective will be filled with a nostalgic mood, a sense of wonder - and an enduring feeling for the richness of life.
