{"title":"Celebrities","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"mustique-icon","title":"MUSTIQUE ICON","description":"A private sanctuary in the Caribbean, Mustique is a humble island when it comes to aesthetics and size (measuring less than three square miles). When it comes to its guests, it is anything but. First developed in the mid-twentieth century by Scottish aristocrat Colin Tennant, the island has since attracted a constellation of famous names—from Princess Margaret to rock legends like Mick Jagger and David Bowie. With a no-paparazzi policy, the stars can disappear into the unspoiled paradise. Mustique Icon immerses readers into this signature spirit of barefoot luxury. Beyond its turquoise shores and fragrant frangipani, Mustique’s magic lies in its rare balance of exclusivity and ease. Days unfold at an unhurried pace—horseback rides along the beach, watching the sunset, or picnics on Macaroni Beach. Iconic villas hidden among the hills, whether traditional or modern in design, all champion the natural splendor of the island. Mustique’s tight-knit community of locals and long-time visitors fosters a warmth that one would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. With sunrise swims in the Caribbean, long lunches at the Cotton House, and moonlit cocktails at Basil’s Bar, the sun chasers and relaxation seekers can always find a spot to bask in the island’s secluded elegance.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Assouline | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53396320780501,"sku":"9781649805225","price":840000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/MUSTIQUEICON_Classic_01_581787eb-6f52-4349-9e85-7492371f67fe.jpg?v=1775518491"},{"product_id":"02205-steve-schapiro-andy-warhol-and-friends","title":"Steve Schapiro. Andy Warhol and Friends","description":"In 1965, Steve Schapiro started documenting Andy Warhol for LIFE magazine : Warhol was cementing a reputation as an important Pop artist who drew his inspiration from popular culture and commercial objects. With his sunglasses, blond wig, and bland public utterances, Warhol was enigmatic, charismatic, intensely ambitious, and aware that to become a star, you needed the presence of people to document your ascent. Schapiro, also ambitious and hardworking, who in his own words “kept quiet and smiled a lot,” was an ideal witness to Warhol’s relentless rise from cult New York artist to 20th-century icon. Ironically, LIFE never published the story, so many of these images are seen here for the first time, scanned from negatives found deep in Schapiro’s archive. Between 1965 and 1966, Schapiro busily photographed Warhol and his entourage of superstars, including the legendary Edie Sedgwick and Nico , hanging out art openings,. making his underground movie Camp , working on his silkscreens at the Factory, and roaming the streets of New York. Schapiro was also present at the opening of Warhol’s first museum retrospective at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, attended by a hyped-up crowd of thousands —the night where art’s coolest new king was crowned and Andymania was born. The final stop on the Warhol express train is Los Angeles, where Andy exhibited his ironic Silver Clouds at the Ferus Gallery, stayed at the picturesque Castle, and set up and filmed a performance by cult band the Velvet Underground . Featuring more than 120 photographs, Schapiro’s images are juxtaposed with tipped-in plates of original Warhol artworks exhibited during the period. The art works include Before and After, 4, 1962, Colored Campbell’s Soup Can, 1965, S\u0026amp;H Green Stamps, 1965, One Dollar Bills (Fronts), 1962, 100 Cans, 1962, Flowers, 1965, Shot Red Marilyn, 1964, Elvis I and II [Elvis Diptych] [Ferus Type], 1963–64, Green Disaster # 2 (Green Disaster Ten Times), 1963, White Disaster (White Car Crash 19 Times), 1963 , and many others. Also featuring an interview with Steve Schapiro , who passed away in early 2022, and an essay and extended captions by official Warhol biographer Blake Gopnik. Andy Warhol and Friends 1965–1966 is a definitive portrait of a groundbreaking artist at a transformative period in postwar American culture.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458046582997,"sku":"9783836599177","price":280000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/a71626e875e33dc3a6fad874794f3aad.png?v=1773905313"},{"product_id":"04813-the-pedro-almodovar-archives","title":"The Pedro Almodóvar Archives","description":"One of the most prolific and influential auteurs at work over the past 45 years, cult Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar has beguiled audiences worldwide with his thrilling dissertations on desire, passion, and identity .

A Tribute to Muhammad Ali","description":"Greatest of All Time: A Tribute to Muhammad Ali is not just a book; it is a testament to the extraordinary life of one of the world’s most famous athletes. GOAT delves into the intricate layers of Ali’s existence, tracing Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.’s journey from his humble beginnings navigating segregation and financial hardship in Louisville, Kentucky, to his evolution into the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali . Essays by those closest to him reveal stories behind monumental fights like those with Sonny Liston , the Rumble in the Jungle against George Foreman , and Thrilla in Manila against Joe Frazier . The book also explores Ali’s signature fighting style , which, when paired with his rapper-style wit , positioned him as a charismatic figure inside and outside the ring. Beyond boxing, GOAT weaves together Ali’s historic moments with his resilience against discrimination and his determination to confront racial inequities . His triumph at the 1960 Rome Olympics was marred by hostility, underscoring the racial tensions he faced; Ali boldly challenged these prevailing biases. The boxer’s embrace of Islam became a cornerstone of his moral standards, guiding his principles against racism, inequality, and undue violence , with the latter informing his staunch opposition to the Vietnam War. Interspersed between these accounts are thousands of historical documents and images of Ali, including the boxer’s documentarian-turned-confidant Howard Bingham ’s intimate snapshots, Neil Leifer and Flip Schulke’ s iconic pictures, and Hank Kaplan ’s archival contributions. Stills from Leon Gast 's film ‘When We Were Kings’, which told the story of Ali’s pivotal 1974 fight, are also included in the volume. GOAT is a heartfelt homage to a boxing legend , exploring Muhammad Ali’s indomitable spirit and celebrating his enduring impact on civil rights, sports, and culture.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458061918421,"sku":"9783836520676","price":600000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/82d2aa88bfca8b7138479368e23585e1.png?v=1773905571"},{"product_id":"43428-lawrence-schiller-marilyn-and-me","title":"Lawrence Schiller.

He already knew Marilyn—they had met on the set of Let’s Make Love —but nothing could have prepared him for the day she appeared nude in the motion picture Something’s Got to Give . Marilyn \u0026amp; Me is an intimate story of a legend before her fall and a young photographer on his way up. Schiller’s extraordinary photographs and vibrant storytelling take us back to that time with tact, humor, and compassion. With more than 100 images , including rare outtakes from the set of Marilyn’s last film , the result is a real and unexpected portrait that captures the star in the midst of her final months.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458107203797,"sku":"9783836563130","price":280000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/8495ceb9172459e9bf56e44c71de7555.png?v=1773906189"},{"product_id":"43458-alfred-wertheimer-elvis-and-the-birth-of-rock-and-roll","title":"Alfred Wertheimer.

Little did Wertheimer know that this would be the job of his life: just 21 years old, Elvis Presley was—as we now know—about to become a legend. A fly on the wall in Presley's presence, Wertheimer took nearly 3,000 photographs of Elvis that year, creating a penetrating portrait of a man poised on the brink of superstardom. Extraordinary in its intimacy and unparalleled in its scope, Wertheimer's Elvis project immortalized a young man in the very process of making history . Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll collects Wertheimer’s most remarkable Elvis shots from that magical year, along with a selection of his historic 1958 pictures of the star being shipped off to an army base in Germany.

From his childhood in Depression-era New York, to transforming Marvel into the number one comics publisher in the world, to his 21st-century reinvention as Chief Creative Officer of global entertainment company POW! Entertainment, Stan “the Man” Lee stands the test of time as the most legendary name in comicbook history . Stanley Lieber began working at Timely Comics in 1940 at the age of 17 and found himself at the helm of the bullpen as its top editor just two years later. But it wasn’t until 1961 that he ignited a revolution known as the “Marvel Age of Comics.” With a legendary stable of art partners including Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita, and Jim Steranko , Lee unleashed a dizzying cascade of seminal comicbook creations—the Fantastic Four, Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men , and the Avengers to name a few. After moving to Hollywood in 1980, he did it again, developing TV and film projects that laid the groundwork for the “Marvel movie.” Stan’s constant cameo presence in these billion-dollar worldwide events was a testament to his influence. As the man behind POW! Entertainment, he became a master of all media—working with rock stars and professional sports leagues, movie mavens and reality TV shows—reinforcing his creative stature the world over. First published as a signed Collector’s Edition and sold out within a week, the book was written and edited with Lee himself. His tale is told by his successor at Marvel, renowned comics writer, editor, and historian Roy Thomas , who brings “you are there” insights and wide-eyed clarity to key moments of Lee’s journey to pop culture immortality. Featuring hundreds of treasures of comicbook art , intimate photographs sourced straight from his family archives, a foreword written by Lee himself, a novel-length essay and new epilogue by Thomas, and an appendix with complete reprints of Stan’s comics from throughout the decades, this is a titanic tribute worthy of the Man.

Delicious.’ – Stephen Fry A never-before-seen archive of 300 celebrity portraits from London’s iconic Passport Photo Service, where actors, writers, musicians, athletes, and other famous faces posed for their travel document photographs Since opening its doors in 1953, Passport Photo Service, an unassuming studio on Oxford Street in London, photographed thousands of people for passports, visas, and green cards – and some of them just happened to be famous. It was a family affair run by professional boxer turned photographer Dave Sharkey, his wife, Ann, and, eventually, their son Philip. Conveniently located near the US embassy and directly opposite the department store Selfridges, Passport Photo Service became the go-to place for passport photos thanks to word-of-mouth and its 'Ready in 10 Minutes' slogan, offering instant service before anyone else in the city was able to provide such a quick turnaround. This charming book is a collection of more than 300 never-before-published portraits taken over the course of six decades, including actors, writers, musicians, politicians, athletes, and more. Organized loosely alphabetically, Passport Photo Service includes such famous faces as Muhammad Ali, Shirley Bassey, Eric Clapton, John Cleese, Joan Collins, Sean Connery, Anton Corbijn, Tim Curry, Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Dockery, Stefan Edberg, Mia Farrow, Tom Ford, Stephen Fry, Ava Gardner, J. Paul Getty, Althea Gibson, Chrissie Hynde, Mick Jagger, Angelina Jolie, Chaka Khan, Little Richard, Madonna, Rami Malek, Stella McCartney, George Michael, Carey Mulligan, Bill Murray, Peter O’Toole, Alan Rickman, Paul Robeson, Ringo Starr, Tilda Swinton, Shania Twain, Valentino, Gene Wilder, Kate Winslet, and Natalie Wood, among many others. More than one hundred of the portraits are accompanied by anecdotes and amusing stories, written by Philip Sharkey. Among his memories: The first celebrity to use their services, Errol Flynn, pushed open the door and, hands on hips, boomed, 'Yep, it’s me.' Muhammad Ali’s picture was taken on his way to the DRC (formerly Zaire) to fight George Foreman in the famous Rumble in the Jungle match. Sharkey’s uncle Peter suggested that perhaps Bianca Jagger remove her large hat for her photo, as the government might not accept the picture. She responded, 'They will for me.' She didn’t come back for a retake. In his introduction, which tells a brief history of his family’s business, Sharkey declares, 'One thing is for sure, whoever we photographed, famous or not – we treated them all with the same care and respect. In that moment, when the flash goes off, your passport photo becomes a great leveler.' Perfect for the photo historian, London nostalgic, or celebrity buff, Passport Photo Service ’s design is an homage to the art of the passport, as well as the studio’s photo wallets that held developed prints, complete with a leatherette cover and a smart red stamp. Filled with a wonderfully eclectic assortment of subjects, this book is a breath of fresh air in the age of tightly controlled imagery. This volume charismatically yet emphatically celebrates the importance of vernacular photography and the story of a family-run business, revealing how images even made for travel documents can still be powerful portraits.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Phaidon | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53580171968725,"sku":"9781837291229","price":336000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/passport-photo-service-en-9122-standing-front-3000_31fc5efe-0d10-4102-8ced-c10cbe3d5095.jpg?v=1775593165"},{"product_id":"leonardo-dicaprio","title":"Leonardo DiCaprio","description":"The Anatomy of an Actor series takes ten roles by a single actor, each studied in a dedicated chapter, and identifies the key elements that made the performances exceptional – carefully examining the actor's craft for both a professional audience and movie fans alike. Arguably the biggest star of his generation, Leonardo DiCaprio (b. 1974) is also one of its finest actors. Since first gaining attention in What's Eating Gilbert Grape at only 19 years old, he has consistently been in the public eye: notably in record-breaking Titanic in 1997, and most recently as the lead in Wolf of Wall Street , nominated for five Oscars.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Phaidon | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53580174196949,"sku":"9780714868059","price":560000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/9780714868059-Leonardo-DiCaprio-Anatomy-of-an-Actor-3d-standing-1to1_96291205-7ace-4f24-95bc-03a4409db3eb.jpg?v=1775593199"}],"url":"https:\/\/weavingtheplanet.com\/en\/collections\/taxonomy-celebrities.oembed","provider":"Weaving The Planet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
