Steve McQueen: Photographs by William Claxton

Santa Fe NM: Arena Editions. Fine in Near Fine dj. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. [virtually as-new copy, no wear to book at all; the jacket has some very minor wrinkling along the top and bottom edges, which essentially disappears in its new mylar protective cover]. (B&W and color photographs) 100+ photos of the iconic actor, taken during the early period of his superstardom, the mid-1960s. "Claxton, who worked and played with his pal for over a six-year period of time [1962-1968], has captured on film not only McQueen's talent and perfectionism, but also his tender, sensitive side and his puckish humor. The actor rarely revealed his most (truncated) appealing characteristics publicly, but did so in the presence of his close friend. Along with these photographs, most of which have never been published before, are Claxton's memories and recollections, including anecdotes creating a very personal and new vision of McQueen." The Afterword is by Steve's son Chad. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy oversize book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
