Born in 1938, David Bailey CBE is a world-renowned photographer. Vogue once described his photography as ‘a body of work that near defines twentieth [and twenty-first] century celebrity’. His fame in the sixties lead to him becoming the principal inspiration for the photographer lead in Michelangelo Antonioni’s film Blow-Up. He has published over forty books as well as directing over 500 short films, documentaries and commercials.
This is a Self Portrait of himself, taken by himself and from his personal collection, a one of one, signed on the back by himself. Comes with a certificate from his studio and also a first edition of his book Look Again, also signed.
A great collectors piece, his portrait editions sell for £15k plus each and are usually an edition of 15 or 20. This is the only one. Will look great framed with the certificate.
