Peter Schlesinger: A Photographic Memory

"A Photographic Memory" offers a captivating visual journey through the extraordinary life of artist Peter Schlesinger, chronicling encounters with luminaries in the realms of art, fashion, and society.

Starting in 1966 when Schlesinger met David Hockney at UCLA, the book captures moments with influential figures like Cecil Beaton, Paloma Picasso, Grace Coddington, Tina Chow, Christopher Isherwood, and Manolo Blahnik.

From London's fashionable bohemian society to international trips, Schlesinger's photographs provide an intimate glimpse into a bygone era.

The monograph, the first to comprehensively showcase his work, encompasses portraits, still lifes, and offers a nuanced portrayal of the romance, humor, and elegance of his time.
