From Andy to Mao Zedong: Damiani presents Jean Pigozzi's selfies, 1972–2016

Businessman, art collector, philanthropist, bon vivant and heir to the Simca automobile fortune, Jean Pigozzi has traveled the world among the flamboyantly creative jetset with camera in hand for more than forty years, snapping selfies wherever he went long before the word “selfie” was born. Cindy Sherman, Lady Gaga, Calvin Klein, Salman Rushdie, Charlie Rose, Bette Midler, Joni Mitchell, Hunter S. Thompson and B.B. King make appearances in his new collection, ME + CO, The Selfies: 1972–2016—alongside a favorite valet, a Turkish belly dancer, a stuffed crocodile, a Chinese soldier, and Picasso’s game-changing 1907 masterpiece, “Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.” Pictured here, “Julie Christie + Me” (1977).
