Eric Boman’s Dames Hardcover Coffee Table Book

Pre-owned. A little wear on cover. A dame is a woman of attitude and conviction, style and flair, with a steely personality, but above all, total self-awareness. For Dames, Eric Boman has photographed more than 100 such women, women who make a dazzling and enduring impression in their respective fields of fashion, society, art, politics, and entertainment. Boman offers indelible portraits of such legendary figures in the fashion world as Paloma Picasso, Tina Brown, and Anna Wintour. He documented the social whirl of Ivana Trump, Bianca Jagger, and the magnetic C. Z. Guest. His actors include a radiant young Penelope Cruz and a carefree Catherine Deneuve. And Boman's portfolio of artistic dames includes Françoise Gilot, Jennifer Bartlett, and the timeless Louise Bourgeois. Celebrity insider and Vanity Fair special correspondent Bob Colacello writes about these legendary women and about Eric Boman from the vantage of 30-plus years of friendship-they met at Andy Warhol's Factory in 1973. Dames is portrait photography at its most incisive and fun.
