Author Description

"FRAMED is an extensive, lavishly printed survey of photographer Greg Gorman's timeless artistry, and a catalogue of the provocative personalities that have defined l.a.Eyeworks' idiosyncratic take on contemporary culture from 1982 to the present. Gathered here for the first time in book form, this much-anticipated hardcover volume presents a fleet of 171 fabulous faces, captured in Gorman's signature black and white vocabulary, and transformed by Barbara McReynolds and Gai Gherardi's groundbreaking eyewear designs. Anchored by the legendary taglinne, "A face is like a work of art. It deserves a great frame.", Greg Gorman's iconic portraits for the l.a.Eyeworks advertising campaign redefined the history of eyewear and the future of celebrity endorsement. With portrait subjects ranging from mega-bright stars to the lesser-known orbits of the avant-garde, FRAMED offers a compelling glimpse of three decades of glamour, fashion and great glasses"--Publisher's web site.
