Sarah Moon. Improbable Memories.

Untitled Document
Moon, Sarah. Souvenirs Improbables (Improbable Memories). Paris: Delpire, 1981. First Edition. Oblong 4to, 120pp. Dark green boards in photographic dustwrapper. Beautifully printed in Switzerland. With 94 colour plates. More images available on request. Fine in Fine dust-jacket. Hardcover.

One of the greats. Surveys her work from the Seventies. So what we get is 94 plates of hazy, dreamy and nostalgic works for clients such as Biba and Cacharel (brilliant), to editorials for the likes of Harpers Bizarre, Nova and Vogue, and lots of private and calendar work. The surprise here is the Cacharel work, surreal and full of humour, but still extremely elegant. An amazing book.
