Background information
"The out-of-print volume 'UFO' by Albert WATSON contains masterpieces from four decades: a comprehensive retrospective of portrait, fashion, reportage and still life photographs by one of the world's most creative and prolific photographic artists. His strictly graphic compositions appear like sculptures and yet reveal the soul of the people, places and objects portrayed. Over the course of his uniquely prolific career, he has created countless fashion photographs, iconographic portraits, reportage spreads and much more. What sets him apart is his eye for the extraordinary and the technique he has mastered like no other. Since his first photo book, Cyclops (1994), he has been regarded as one of the greatest talents in the art of photography. UFO - Unified Fashion Objectives - brings together a retrospective of his best work from 40 years: Design & Beauty, Fashion & People, the contemporary history of an entire era. Especially for this volume, style-defining photographs from a huge archive have been reassembled and edited for posterity. UFO lets us experience the world anew through the camera of one of the world's best photographers." (© Richter & Fey, 2010)
