{"product_id":"700-nimes-road-by-catherine-opie","title":"700 Nimes Road: by Catherine Opie","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe renowned photographer Catherine Opie takes on a challenging documentary project— an \"indirect portrait\" of Elizabeth Taylor through her home and possessions. One of America’s most celebrated living photographers, Catherine Opie works in series that are remarkably varied in\u003cbr\u003eboth style and subject matter—from intimate portraits of the\u003cbr\u003eLGBTQ community to beautiful, nearly-abstract landscapes\u003cbr\u003efeaturing ice-fishing houses. Expanding that astonishing\u003cbr\u003erange of subjects further is Opie’s ambitious recent series of\u003cbr\u003ephotographs taken at the home of late movie star Elizabeth\u003cbr\u003eTaylor. Though glamour and celebrity are not common\u003cbr\u003ethemes in her work, Opie was inspired by the possibilities this\u003cbr\u003eproject offered—recalling William Eggleston’s series on Elvis\u003cbr\u003ePresley’s Graceland, or her own photographs of Obama’s\u003cbr\u003e2008 inauguration, both of which represent indirect portraits\u003cbr\u003eof their subjects. The images in this moving collection\u003cbr\u003ewere culled from photos Opie took over the course of six\u003cbr\u003emonths, both on the grounds of and inside Taylor’s home.\u003cbr\u003eThe subjects are wildly diverse—a dog-eared remote control\u003cbr\u003emanual, close-ups of Taylor’s enormous closets, shelves of\u003cbr\u003etchotchkes and priceless works of art—telling more about\u003cbr\u003eTaylor’s life than any \"celebrity\" portrait ever could. Through\u003cbr\u003eOpie’s thoughtful curation, Taylor’s home tells a poignant\u003cbr\u003estory and reveals the arc of a fascinating life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51908040458520,"sku":"9783791354255","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8203\/8296\/files\/9783791354255.jpg?v=1775121645","url":"https:\/\/lushenabooksinc.com\/products\/700-nimes-road-by-catherine-opie","provider":"Lushena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
