Twenty-five years is a long time to stay ultra-hot, but this unique
catalog for the fashion photography partnership of Inez van Lamsweerde
and Vinoodh Matadin, accompanying their quarter-century retrospective at
FOAM, the hip new photo museum in Amsterdam, proves it can be done. The
photographers' long-time collaborators, M/M (Paris), designed the
catalog as a ''newspaper'' of sorts: M/M chose the 25 most influential
photographs to represent the vast body of work, and printed them on
poster-sized newsprint. On the reverse sides are 25 graphic posters
designed by M/M using the photographers' celebrity portraits (including
Natalie Portman, Daniel Day Lewis and Mickey Rourke), creating an
unbound ''book'' of sexy, dynamic posters folded together. Includes an
essay by art critic Michael Bracewell.
