Bruce Weber is widely known for his fashion ad campaigns and his collectible photography books.   His clients include Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie & Fitch, Versace … as well as Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, Elle, Life, Interview, and Rolling Stone. Weber’s photographs are occasionally in color; however, most are in black and white or toned shades. They are gathered in limited edition books, that are rare and sought after.

Description: Paperback copy. True first edition. This book is by far the most sought after Bruce Weber title! A richly produced oversize elephant folio with pictorial printed wrappers, Rio is packed with Weber’s distinctive photographs from fashion to the erotic, all printed in a variety of colors and duo tone. unpaginated – 130 plates, including several gate-folds, & with drawings by Richard Giglio. On the beach, in restaurants, at nightclubs, in their rooms, Weber’s subjects exude a beauty which is at the same time casual and self-possessed. Many of these photographs were shown in a major exhibition at the Robert Miller Gallery, New York, in September of 1986. Some edge wear to wrappers, and rubbing to spine edge, otherwise a very nice copy. Interior clean and binding tight. Scarce!
