"While the work of Duane Michals has always been personal, ABCDuane is the first book to act as a visual memoir by this living legend.


"The legendary photographer relates intimate themes of his life and art in a scrapbook memoir illustrated by his works - from portraits of Magritte to Warhol, to painted tintypes, and the revolutionary multiple-image sequences and handwritten texts for which he is best known - and by pieces from his personal art collection, now donated to Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum of Art.

Whether a portrait of Eugène Atget by Berenice Abbott, collages by Joseph Cornell, or drawings by David Hockney, the works of Michals’s artistic lodestars sit alongside his own haunting images - some never-before-published - and his mordantly funny, playful, humble, and heartbreaking observations on art, photography, and life - revealing the creative obsessions of a uniquely beloved artist.

ABCDuane is a creative autobiography and the perfect primer for Michals’s vastly influential body of work - both for those who have loved it for the past half-century, and those being delighted by it for the first time."
