TASCHEN Bettina Rheims. Art Edition No. 101 200 'Marthe, 1987'
Since her first photographs in the late '70s, Bettina Rheims has defied predictable. From series on Pigalle strippers (1980) to cycle on life of Jesus in I.N.R.I. (1998), from Chanel commercials to Gender Studies (2011), work shaken up traditional iconography and pushed restlessly at breaking point between two great human preoccupations: beauty imperfection. This limited Art Edition pairs pigment print Marthe en guêpière, February 1987, Paris,
