A Photographic Memory 1968-1989
Book by Peter Schlesinger
As well as being a brilliant sculptor and painter, Peter Schlesinger dabbled in photography for over 30 years, capturing some of the greatest personalities of late 20th century art world. Schlesinger was a student at UCLA in the ’60s when he met professor and artist David Hockney, becoming Hockney’s lover and muse. Following the pair’s move to London, Schlesinger’s photographs reflect his intersection and intimacy with a bohemian inner circle including Robert Mapplethorpe, Paloma Picasso, Grace Coddington, Tina Chow, Cecil Beaton, Christopher Isherwood and Manolo Blahnik. Compiled of still lifes and portraits of his contemporaries, A Photographic Memory 1968-1989 is Schlesinger’s first monograph and personal document of the private, in-between moments of a bright and creative era.
