Sie war die populärste aller Hitchcock-Blondinen, bevor sie zur untadeligen Aristokratin und Landesmutter des Fürstentums Monaco wurde. Grace Kelly, 1929 als Tochter eines millionenschweren amerikanischen Bauunternehmers und einer deutschstämmigen Mutter in Philadelphia geboren, kam schon mit 23 Jahren zu Starruhm. Regisseur Fred Zinnemanns Zwölf Uhr mittags katapultierte sie 1952 an die Spitze der beliebtesten Schauspielerinnen, und die drei Hitchcock-Klassiker "Bei Anruf Mord", "Das Fenster zum Hof" (beide 1954) und "Über den Dächern von Nizza" (1955) machten sie zur Stil-Ikone der 50er Jahre. Die Metamorphose von Hollywoods leading lady Grace Kelly zu Fürstin Gracia Patricia von Monaco vollzog sie 1956 mit der ihr eigenen Eleganz und Ausschließlichkeit. Seit der "Jahrhunderthochzeit" mit Rainier III. und ihrem glanzvollen Einzug in den Grimaldi-Palast von Monte Carlo spielte sie ihre Rolle als Repräsentantin - und Hauptattraktion - eines bis dahin eher unbedeutenden Zwergstaats mit vollendeter Grazie. Ihr tragischer Unfalltod 1982 schockierte die Welt und ließ die Frau, deren Leben ein Märchen war, das die Wirklichkeit schrieb, zur unsterblichen Legende werden. Star-Portraitist Howell Conant (1917-1999), dem wir die wunderschönen Tiffany-Photos von Audrey Hepburn aus unserem letzten Programm verdanken, begleitete bereits Grace Kellys Filmkarriere, bevor er zum Hofphotographen der Grimaldis avancierte. Unser Band ist also alles in einem: Bildbiographie, eine Sammlung der schönsten Publicity-Portraits und fürstliches Familienalbum.

218 Abbildungen in Farbe und Duotone.

The top female box-office star of 1954, Grace Kelly's status as icon takes in an 11-film, three-year, screen career and a glamorous later life as Princess of Monaco. More than any other star, she was in three memorable films the quintessential Hitchcock blonde, delineating traits of cool beauty, depths of hidden passion, intelligence, playfulness, and style- in short, the qualities that led biographer James Spada to call her “the pious man's Marilyn.” Yet Grace Kelly also showed her versatility and won her acting honors for playing against type in the title role in the grimly realistic movie The Country Girl. Grace Kelly was a classic beauty, a public figure, and serious actress representative of an era.

The Movie Icon series: People talk about Hollywood glamour, about studios that had more stars than there are in heaven, about actors who weren't actors but were icons. Other people talk about these things, TASCHEN shows you. Movie Icons is a series of photo books that feature the most famous personalities in the history of cinema. These 192-page books are visual biographies of the stars. For each title, series editor Paul Duncan has painstaking selected approximately 150 high quality enigmatic and sumptuous portraits, colorful posters and lobby cards, rare film stills, and previously unpublished candid photos showing the stars as they really are. These images are accompanied by concise introductory essays by leading film writers; each book also includes a chronology, a filmography, and a bibliography, and is peppered with apposite quotes from the movies and from life.

Hollywood star, royal bride, beloved princess – Grace Kelly lived all three roles with a style all of her own. Renowned for her cool beauty and faultless good taste, the young actress stood apart from the other film sirens of the fifties, with 1000s of women, both in the US and Europe, emulating her classic yet accessible style. Her marriage to Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956 catapulted Grace Kelly to further fame and cemented her influence on the world of fashion. From the Parisian catwalks to the pages of Vogue, the ‘Grace Kelly Look’ became the look of the moment.

This book, the first to look exclusively at Grace’s unique style, accompanies an enchanting exhibition at the V&A opening in April 2010. Sumptuously illustrated, the book introduces Grace’s glamorous wardrobe as she transformed herself from actress to bride to princess.

An illustrated celebration of Grace Kelly, one of Hollywoods brightest stars, is already long overdue. This book will also coincide with two significant anniversaries: 2006 sees 50 years since she married Prince Rainier and 2007 is the 25th anniversary of her death. 

The book will include a detailed biography and over 160 pictures and contact sheets, many of which are reproduced for the first time. 

Hand-written documents and famous quotes on and from Grace Kelly complement impressive iconographic research (family pictures, national archives, private collections, press agencies, newspapers). Also included are images and contact sheets from prestigious photographers, all of which give us a highly individual portrait of a cinematic legend.

She continues to inspire a younger generation of photographers in Latin America and beyond

Jean-Paul Four is celebrated for his magnificent nudes in black-and-white. He loves women and his photos show a clear fetishist tendency.

Jean-Paul says he prefers working with nonprofessional models, as he feels they show greater emotional commitment. He must have some amazing friends, because his girls are all very beautiful and perfectly suit his style of outstandingly tasteful explicit photography.

Als Mode- und Werbefotograf entdeckte Jean-Paul Four die Ästhetik des nackten Frauenkörpers und ist inzwischen bekannt für seine außergewöhnliche, oft fetisch-orientiert s/w-Fotografie. Jean-Paul: „Ich bevorzuge jetzt mehr die Arbeit mit nicht-professionellen Models, weil ich fühle, daß sie mit einem tieferen emotionalen Engagement dabei sind.“ Er muß über einen erstaunlichen Freundeskreis verfügen, weil alle seine Modelle sehr mutig sind und sich perfekt in seinen künstlerischen Stil einfügen, der von kraftvoller Erotik geprägt ist.

Graphis Photography Annual 2008 is a beautiful collection of the year’s best photographs. Shot by some of the world’s most respected artists, these stunning images are organized by category for easy referencing. Each photo has earned a new Graphis Gold Award for excellence. This year’s book also features interviews with internationally renown Photographers Parish Kohanim, Henry Leutwyler and Hugh Kretschmer. Detailed credits and indexes complete the Annual.

Peak Pleasure. A Mountain Tour of the Alps

The Alps are Europe’s biggest and greatest mountain range. Formed millions of years ago, they became a popular destination for travelers in the late eighteenth century – first for adventurers and explorers, then for artists and writers, and finally for everyone who wanted to spend summer in the fresh air of this wonderful scenery or take part in winter sports. Angelika Taschen has followed in their footsteps and collected the finest hotels in the Alpine nations of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Italy.

They include the Kranzbach near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, built for a British aristocrat, Gasthof Hirschen in the Bregenzerwald, where art-loving visitors have been welcomed since 1755, and the Seehof near Salzburg with its emphasis on contemporary art and fine cuisine. The journey goes to Waldhaus Sils in Sils Maria, where many creative guests have found inspiration, to the Schatzalp in Davos, which Thomas Mann immortalized in literature in “The Magic Mountain”, and to picturesque bed & breakfasts with a personal touch such as Brücke49 in Vals and Maison Bergdorf in Interlaken.

High above Chamonix, mountaineers have stayed overnight for more than 140 years at Refuge du Montenvers with its view of the Mer de Glace, the largest glacier in France. In the exclusive Megève, too, which Baroness Noémie de Rothschild put on the tourist map, travelers experience the Alps à la française in the chalet hotel L’Alpaga; and a bit of Italian dolce vita is provided by stunning addresses in the South Tyrol such as the Ottmangut in Merano, Villa Arnica in Lana with its nostalgic atmosphere, and Pension Briol near Barbiano, constructed in 1928 in the Bauhaus style and extended in 2021 with the addition of two extremely modern buildings.

This opulent book of photographs presents the Alpine range and accommodation in large-format images, short texts, and useful details on prices and how to get there. Walkers, skiers, gourmets, and lovers of good living will find valuable tips and very special accommodation: former monasteries where guests still find peace and seclusion, a mountain hut at the heart of the Dolomites, and a youth hostel occupying what was once a sanatorium, a rare example of modern architecture in Switzerland that was declared a heritage monument in 2002.

La bell’Italia è per sempre. Legendary hotels and secret hideaways full of atmosphere

In Italy, art and life are entwined. This visual journey offers glimpses of rural landscapes, high culture, and divine food, all spied through the doorways and windows of the country’s most stunning hotels. Gorgeous photographs of hideaways and homesteads from Venice to Sicily offer fabulous accommodation suggestions for your next dolce vita getaway.

To travel through Italy is as close as one gets to being in paradise. For centuries, writers, artists, architects, and merchants have been drawn here, inspired by the beauty of Venice, Florence, Naples, and Rome. Countless books, paintings, poems, and sculptures are evidence of its undying appeal, and over the past 60 years, the country has become one of the world’s top travel and holiday destinations. The loveliness of Italy is, if not eternal, certainly enduring, and the easygoing and relaxed Italian lifestyle is still unrivaled.

Here, some of Italy’s most amazing landscapes and diverse regions are brought to life, like Tuscany, Umbria, the Amalfi Coast, and, no less magical, the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. In these mythical surroundings are legendary hotels full of atmosphere, where novels are set, movies are made, weddings are celebrated, and famous love stories consummated: Villa d’Este on Lake Como, the Pellicano Hotel in Porto Ercole, the Il San Pietro on the Amalfi Coast, and the Palazzo Margherita in Basilicata — o name just a few. Angelika Taschen also reveals where to find more secret and hidden jewels — from the Locanda Cipriani, a destination for food lovers on the island of Torcello, to the romantic Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany and the atmospheric Masseria Moroseta in Puglia.

The Mythical Mediterranean. Where to get lost, in style and comfort

The azure-blue Mediterranean restores the body, mind and soul! Discover the most breathtaking destinations and places to dream of in this updated, lavishly illustrated book: from the cave-like suites at Perivolas, in a majestic position high above the Aegean on Santorini, to the Hôtel Le Corbusier in Marseille, a place of pilgrimage for lovers of architecture. Every hotel is presented with spectacular photos, a short text and essential information such as the address and directions for arriving, as well as tips for books to pack.

The Mediterranean is surrounded by three continents – Europe, Africa and Asia – and even though the cultures around this sea are highly diverse, they harmoniously share a pleasant climate, distinctive flora and fauna, and not least the intense blue of the water.

Angelika Taschen set out in search of the most beautiful hotels on a great variety of coasts, islands and beaches, taking you on a journey to the luxurious Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc and the ultra-chic Les Roches Rouges on the Côte d’Azur, to the little-known Pardini’s Hermitage on the Italian island of Giglio, which is only accessible by boat or on foot, and to Bodrum in Turkey, where the elegant Amanruya resort lies hidden in one of the most stunning bays in the Mediterranean. She also presents new hotel concepts, great architecture and creative design – for example, the finca Menorca Experimental on the Balearic Islands, the modernist Villa Dubrovnik in Croatia and Dexamenes on the Peloponnese, where new life was breathed into decommissioned wine tanks.

Further highlights are the brand-new, stylishly designed Mezzatorre on Ischia and the Torre di Cala Piccola with its enchanting private beach on the Argentario peninsula in Tuscany, an almost unknown location that possesses the aura of 1960s Italy. Another real gem is La Locanda del Barbablù, with just five rooms in the shadow of the mythical volcano on Stromboli. Look forward to staying at the Nord-Pinus in Tangier with its fantastic view of the Strait of Gibraltar, and the charming Coco-Mat Eco Residences on Serifos, or experiencing the originality of Ammos on Crete, where the art and design are as essential as the sun and the beach!
