Publisher's Synopsis
Patti Smith is known most widely as a musical artist and a poet but her creative energies are not limited to those genres. This book offers a rare chance to explore the photography of the punk poetess. Published to accompany the exhibition at the Fondation Cartier pour lart contemporain in Paris, it presents hundreds of Polaroids and black and white photographs taken over the past thirty years or more. Concise texts by the artist accompany her poetic and intimate pictures, which are beautifully reproduced in this haunting volume.
