At the age of 74, Irving Penn, one of the greatest photographers of our time, has brought together the images that have spoken most to him over the years. He has accompanied them with his own memories. The wide-ranging work includes his most remarkable photographs for Vogue magazine: his portraits of the great, the famous and the anonymous; his photographs of fashionable, elegant women in New York and Paris; and his celebrations of men, women and children in remote villages, jungles and savannahs on five continents. There are also examples of Penn's private research and photographic obsessions: images of street litter, animal skulls, female nudes and his memento mori. There is also a group of surprising recent drawings, shown for the first time.
