Wish I'd bought one of these on release. A really nice piece, good luck.

[kennas]

I agree. Awesome photo. Good luck with search.

[trapnel1]

Just saw on breakfast telly this morning that the new Kate Moss book by Mario Testino is coming out.

It's another massive Taschen edition with 1500 signed copies .
13 x 18 inches and 230 pages.

$500 or £300 is the price and you can pre order now on the Taschen site for August release.

Doubt they'll hang about long so get yourselves button pressing if interested and if you want to spend that kind of dosh on a big book.

[jusdeep]

An opportunity missed, although i doubt if she would be up for signing 1500 books. Actually I doubt if she could lift the book, it's a bit of a beast.
Testino was on BBC breakfast this morning talking about Kate and the release.

bought one - signed and numbered book by Testino - its a no brainer

[Poppy Sunshine]

I noticed the Helmut Newton Sumo book put out by Taschen in a limited edition of 10,000 copies is now in excess of $10,000 each from dealers.

Anybody got one?

[grafik]

[sfield]

£225 from Amazon - seems to be the same edition.

[13loco]

Not the smallest of editions

Helmut Newton Sumo is from an edition 10,000 worldwide - they are now selling for £9000

[bullet]

theres another signed testino on there edition of 1,000 thats been out for a while and still available for £650

[snausages]

They may be asking £9000 for that Sumo, but they really aren't selling at that price.

If you're a big Testino fan it might be worth it, but not exactly a bargain.

By the way, there is a kate/testino exhibition up at Phillips de Pury london right now.

you really are a miserable git arent you. Every post you make you are one way or another pissing on someone's parade or throwing a downer on someones enjoyment or pleasure.

As for the Sumo book, tell me where you can find a signed and numbered edition for considerably less than £9000, other than at auction.

[graffoto]

I can tell you you can get a first edition signed SUMO fro around £6000 if you know where to look - the Testino book ain't in the same league - though will undoubtedly be a good seller

realism is one thing, but that guy is a miserable git - every post he makes puts me on a right downer, if i lived in his world I would have topped myself by now

[snausages]

It sold for £5000 recently. Sure, I guess you can pay £9000 if you want to. But I remembered seeing this several months back so thought I'd mention it. Not trying to piss on your parade. www.wright20.com/auctions/view/IZSG/IZSH/150/LA/none/TOP/0

Like I said, if you're a big Testino fan it's a fine buy. But to the casual fan $400 a signed book like this is not exactly a "deal" based on my experience with Taschen. Sorry if that offends you.

Reminder, you can see a Testino exhiibtion this week at PdP and in fact you can even download and print a testino book online for free. Or they're probably for sale for a nominal charge at Phillips. If I were in London I'd go, but hey I'm just a miserable old git who likes seeing Kate's nips, so what does that tell ya...

wonder if they will honour those who bought at £225

[Winter]

No question

[Rsyok]

Cant believe nobody has mentioned the Taschen Big Butt book a lot more rounded artistically !

[Warm Gun]

Cheeky bloody swine! (amazon)

I knew I'd regret not buying one last night!

Bummer!

(I also wonder how long these books have been sitting around signed, didn't he snuff it 6 years ago?)

[Rsyok]

He looked pretty alive on bbc breakfast (although the presenters are souless husks of human beings.)
Maybe your thinking of Bob Carlos Clarke he is long missed or the genius Dennis Hopper more newly departed ?
