Le-Tan, known for designing \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e magazine covers and collaborations with fashion houses, summons up memories of inveterate collectors in this lavishly illustrated volume. He evokes fascinating, sometimes troubled figures through insightful and curious portraits. With seventy of his distinctive pen and ink drawings--in vibrant color with meticulous cross-hatching--\u003ci\u003eA Few Collectors\u003c\/i\u003e opens a window onto the vast or minuscule world created by collectors out of a mix of extravagance and obstinacy. It recounts encounters in Paris, the Côte d'Azur, North Africa, London and New York, where Le-Tan's subjects have amassed a range of treasures. Some involve famed figures like former Louvre Museum director Pierre Rosenberg. Others are insolvent aristocrats, princes of film and fashion, expatriate dandies, and flat-out obsessive eccentrics. Le-Tan devotes perhaps his finest chapter to himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Le-Tan, Pierre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Vessel Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954404045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 6.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Pierre Le-Tan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39750932660299,"sku":"9781954404045","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_82551a7e-217b-44e5-9606-9457da90995b.jpg?v=1651597349","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/a-few-collectors-9781954404045","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
