Photos by a key figure in modern music, noted for the way she integrates performance poetry with garage-band rock and roll.

Patti Smith is known most widely as a musical artist and a poet, but her creative energies are not limited to those genres. This book offers a chance to explore the photography of the punk poetess. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Fondation Cartier Pour L'Art Contemporain in Paris, it presents hundreds of Polaroids and black-and-white photographs, plus commentaries by the artist.

The exhibition took place from March to June 2008, and many of the photographs were created especially for the show. The book celebrates a lesser- known string to Patti Smith's bow, presenting an iconographic world in which films, drawings, and photographs converge. 250 illustrations.

Smith had her first exhibit of drawings at the Gotham Book Mart in 1973 and has been represented by the Robert Miller Gallery since 1978. Her books include Just Kids, winner of the National Book Award in 2010, Wītt, Babel, Woolgathering, The Coral Sea, and Auguries of Innocence.

In 2005, the French Ministry of Culture awarded Smith the title of Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres, the highest honor given to an artist by the French Republic. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.

In 1980, she married the musician Fred Sonic Smith in Detroit. They had a son, Jackson, and a daughter, Jesse. Smith resides in New York City.

Beautiful Book Beautiful Photographs

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 26, 2010

Well worth acquiring - the production of the book itself is of high quality and the photographs are moving - heartfelt little gems. Made me realize what damage the world of the 'perfect', soulless digital camera is doing for our perception of what a photograph is.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 5, 2008

A beautifully bound book of Patti's polaroids with comments written in English and French. Each photo will remind you of one of Patti's poems or a song that the Patti Smith Group has performed over the years. Very simple layout with strong emotional undertones. PSG fans will love this book.
