Pirelli The Calendar Backstage 1964-2005 book of iconic photographers & photos.

Behind the scenes of a half-century of photography for the famed Pirelli calendar. As much a modern cultural history as a retelling of the titillating art calendars shot by world-famous photographers of the era, "Backstage" includes photos of supermodels (unnamed) and the work and words of the very-named photographers Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, Patrick Demarchelier and so many more. The closing pages include the never-published 1963 monthly calendar pages shot by Terence Donovan.

"Backstage" was never sold but distributed to journalists, racing enthusiasts, and collectors. This copy is in pristine condition, still in its silver-colored cardboard presentation box (which has 2 small indents, as can be seen in the photo). Approximate size 10.5x12 inches
