$60.00 Fantombooks Marcelo Krasilcic: 1990s Part of the generation of photographers that included Juergen Teller and Terry Richardson, Marcelo Krasilcic (born 1969) moved from São Paulo to New York in 1990 to study art and photography, and quickly became known for his spare, iconic and sweetly erotic photographs of liberated youth, artists, designers, musicians and otherwise beautiful and creative personalities.

$50.00 Damiani Jork Weismann: Asleep at the ChateauPreface by Bret Easton Ellis. Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles is a fantastical folly in the land of make-believe. As Harry Cohn, the founder of Columbia Pictures, said in 1939, If you must get in trouble, do it at the Chateau Marmont.” Several generations of actors, directors, writers and artists have heeded Cohn’s advice, from Dorothy Parker and F. Scott Fitzgerald to Hunter S. Thompson and Jim Morrison. The hotel has provided a refuge where both partying and privacy are equally available--where you can hole up to write a script or ride your motorcycle through the hotel lobby (as Led Zeppelin once did). James Dean climbed through a window of the hotel to ... Hbk, 12 x 9 in. / 184 pgs / illustrated throughout.  FREE UPS GROUND SHIPPING IN THE US

One morning, Mangone borrowed an eight-millimeter Kodak camera from his brother, headed down to the Gladstone and met Monroe as she was on her ... Hbk, 9 x 9 in. / 48 pgs / 30 b&w.
