Phaidon is the world’s leading publisher of books on art, design, architecture, and photography, producing meticulously researched volumes that have become essential references in creative libraries worldwide. Since 1923, the London-based house has combined scholarly rigor with striking visual production values, working with leading curators, critics, and historians to give definitive shape to entire fields of visual culture.

Gathering five decades of profiles by celebrated New Yorker writer Calvin Tomkins, with a foreword by editor David Remnick, this monumental 1,640-page collection brings together portraits of artists from Marcel Duchamp to Cindy Sherman, written as they were happening rather than in retrospect. Its scale and depth make it less a coffee-table book than a complete education in modern and contemporary art, told through the people who made it.
