Elizabeth Taylor was the face of classic Hollywood. As one of the 20th century's most loved stars, her image is instantly recognisable the world over. ACC Art Books and Iconic Images proudly present the work of eight wonderful photographers ― Douglas Kirkland, Milton Greene, Gered Mankowitz, Norman Parkinson, Eva Sereny, Terry O'Neill, Gary Bernstein and Greg Brennan ― who were fortunate enough to capture the star at different moments of her life.
Throughout the book, the photographers share their memories of working with the icon, from patient pursuits to charming persuasion, each enlightening us with an inside view of what it was like to work with such an icon. The book presents a mix of set, fashion, portrait and behind-the-scenes photographs, including some rare and never-before-seen images. Forever Elizabeth - Iconic Photographers on a Legendary Star is a visual tribute from some of the world’s best-known photographers to a star who continues to captivate our hearts.
Reviews:
"Unseen Liz Taylor: New book publishes rare photographs of film legend playing dominoes on set in Sardinia, cooing over her toddler son in 1954 and drinking in a Paris hotel with Richard Burton" - Jo Tweedy, Daily Mail
"An extraordinary collection of photographs that celebrates one of Hollywood's most iconic faces." - Donato D'Aprile, L'Officiel Italy
"An intimate look at a Hollywood icon." - Closer magazine
"The book features set, fashion, portrait and behind-the-scenes photographs from eight renowned photographers ― all of whom were captivated by the iconic actress." - Sam Gillette, People Magazine
"She was one of the most glamorous women of Hollywood’s golden age. Ten years after her death, eight photographers reflect on what it was like to play a part in the creation of her enduring image." - Eve Watling, Independent
"She was Hollywood glamour personified and over the course of an astonishing six decade-long career, Elizabeth Taylor would continue to captivate audiences. In a new book, eight photographers reveal their memories of the woman who dazzled through their camera lenses." - Australian Women's Weekly
"So when the publicist for ACC Art Books reached out to me and said she had a publication named Forever Elizabeth: Iconic Photographers on a Legendary Star, I was pretty sure I had seen it all and would not find anything new in the book. I am delighted to report I was wrong." - Marion Fasel, The Adventurine
"Elizabeth Taylor may been married eight times (twice to Richard Burton), but her greatest love affair was with the camera. Proof positive is this splendid book by Robert Risko which features minimal text and hundreds of dazzling shots of the violet-eyed beauty." - Daniel Bubbeo, Newsday
"This is a huge and luxurious book full of photographs of Elizabeth Taylor in her prime - and one has to say, what a prime it was. Eight photographers, including Norman Parkinson and Terry O’Neill, contribute pictures ―some never before seen ― and comment on how wonderful, marvellous, enigmatic and professional she was." - Marcus Berkmann, Mail Online
"She was famous for her diamonds, her tempestuous love for Richard Burton and her luminous acting. Now, a book of iconic images peels away the layers to reveal the woman behind the legend." - Roger Lewis, Daily Mail
