From 'Bottle Rocket' to 'The Phoenician Scheme' — the archives of Wes Anderson

Wes Anderson: The Archives—the first major museum retrospective of the iconic American filmmaker’s output—is on view now at The Design Museum in London, and we are thrilled to distribute the catalog, a new release this week. Drawn from Anderson’s personal archive, amassed over thirty years of groundbreaking films known for their inimitable aesthetic and sense of humor, this exhibition contains everything from props, sets and costumes to notebooks, drawings, Polaroids and paintings. Featuring contributions from more than a dozen of Anderson’s collaborators, including Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton, Roman Coppola and Jason Schwartzman, it is the first book to be produced in close partnership with Anderson. Pictured here, Steve Zissou’s Adidas shoes and red hat from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004); photographs by James Hamilton of Anderson, Anjelica Huston and Owen Wilson on the set of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001); and Anderson’s notebooks from Moonrise Kingdom (2012) and The French Dispatch (2021).
