Francois Halard

Description

Francois Halard's first assignment, to photograph Yves Saint Laurent's legendary Paris apartment when he was 23, cemented his reputation as one of the most original photographic eyes of our era. More than thirty years later, Halard still captures our imagination with his breathtaking photographs of the glorious homes of the most important tastemakers, artists, and designers of the 20th century - including: Rick Owens (Paris), Dries van Noten (Belgium), Manolo Blahnik (England). Giorgio Morandi House (Italy), De Menil House (Houston), Maya Hoffman House (Arles), Miquel Barcelo (Spain), Saul Leiter Apartment (New York), Glasgow Art School by Mackintosh, Raphael at the Vatican, Donald Judd (Marfa), John Richardson (New York). Many of these images were first published in Vogue and House & Garden, but many others will be seen here for the very first time. Like his first book, Francois Halard: A Visual Education, this follow-up volume will be a coveted, indispensable must-have visual resource for all lovers of interior style.

Francois Halard has been a regular contributor to American Vogue, Apartamento, T Magazine, and Cabana, among others, for over thirty years. His work for these publications established him as the most prolific and well-known interior and architectural photographer of our time. He splits his time between homes in New York and France. His work has appeared most recently in books including John Richardson: At Home and Houses: Atelier AM. He has had solo exhibitions in Arles, France; Paris; and New York.
