For the Art Aficionado Who Has Everything

Every generation produces a genius photographer.  Annie Leibovitz is ours. Over the last 40 years, she has photographed royalty, celebrities, presidents and documented American history in a way few could. That work has now been compiled into one massive (and massively expensive) book that is for the person who has everything.

But that person needs to be a weight lifter, too, because the book weighs in at a mere 57.3 pounds and stands at 20” by 20”.

In case you don’t know where you’re going to put such a massive book, it comes with its very own tripod stand, designed by Marc Newson. The book comes in two types – the Collector’s Edition ($2,500) and the Art Edition ($5,000). The Collector’s Edition offers four different versions of the front cover.  Choose from images of Patti Smith, David Byrne, Whoopi Goldberg or Keith Haring. The Art Edition comes with a signed print by Annie of Keith Haring in a photo shoot.
There are only three copies of each version of this book available in Miami (out of 1,000 total in the world of the Art Edition and 9,000 total of the Collector’s Edition) – and if you want one, then you’d better rush  down to Taschen Books at 1111 Lincoln Road Mall. Or, they also have a booth at Art Basel this week where you can also buy a copy.  Just bring a very strong person with you to help lug it away.
