'Peter Beard'

In 2006, Taschen published a monograph on artist, diarist, collector and writer Peter Beard (1938-2020), which was signed by the artist and published in two volumes. An instant hit, it quickly became a highly sought-after collector’s item and in the decade since the book has been revived in two smaller versions. Now it is available in one large-format volume, a 770-page hardcover edition that presents the artist’s unique world — a realm of art, science, and beauty. Edited by Nejma Beard and David Fahey, and authored by Steven M L Aronson and Owen Edwards, the book offers unrivalled access into the life and work of the American creative, whose expansive oeuvre is comprehensively compiled here.
