Glitterati Press Release

SCHATZ IMAGES: 25 Years

“Howard Schatz is so versatile that this volume at times seems like the work of a dozen photographers, Weegee, Avedon, Penn, Beaton, Newton, and Goude, among them. He has affection for his subjects—athletes, dancers, models, actors, pregnant moms, and interesting nobodies—and it shows in every remarkable image. Sometimes funny, often dramatic, he is a master both of the quiet portrait and the explosive surprise.” — Vanity Fair Editor-in-Chief, Graydon Carter

“Schatz Images: 25 Years is a master work of innovation. Every page stops you with its power, every image surprises. You are looking at the work of an artist of ideas with an astonishing range. Like all great art, his images can change the way you think about the world.” —Sports Illustrated Former Editor-in-Chief, Terry McDonell
