Though he's not a household name, photographer Elio Sorci's legacy is undeniable. Sorci was the world's first paparazzi photographer, responsible for capturing candid images of iconic celebrities such as Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Sofia Loren and Goldie Hawn at their most glamorous. He's also responsible for helping birth the cult of celebrity as we know it today, exposing the private lives of such people to mass scrutiny. It was Sorci who would reveal Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's affair to the media, prompting a scandal so large that Taylor would make enquiries about legal action against Pope St. John XXIII after he condemned their "erotic vagrancy".For this interest in the famous, Sorci was duly rewarded. He was immortalised on film as the character Paparazzo in Federico Fellini's classic La Dolce Vita, giving the breed of photographers who followed in his wake the title they're still known by, "Paparazzi." Sorci now also finds the archives of his work posthumously turned into a set of startlingly beautiful books by Roads Publishing, who describe them as "candid, glamorous, often hilarious and always cool."

A woman among Modernists Though her work has often been overshadowed by that of her peers such as Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer, Irish designer, lacquer-artist, and architect Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is now widely recognized as a designer of great talent and individuality. She first excelled in the exacting craft of lacquer, creating screens, panels, furniture, and objects of technical virtuosity and poetic strength. Eileen Gray then developed an interest in architecture, designing two houses, ?E-1027? (completed 1929) and ?Tempe a Pailla? (completed 1934) in the south of France, which are seminal examples of the spirit of the Modern movement. This book analyses and illustrates the full range of her furniture, interiors, and completed architectural projects. Reprint of the edition of 1993.
