Autumn de Wilde, who has already made a book about Elliott Smith and has taken pictures of the CD covers for the who's who of the indie music world (Elliott Smith, Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins, The Raconteurs, The White Stripes, Fiona Apple, Beck, Built to Spill, Wilco, Monsters of Folk, New Found Glory,…), is preparing a new book about Beck
The book, simply entitled ‘Beck’ is due November 9th and published by chronicle books. It will feature ‘a collection of sixteen years of documentary and portrait work I have done with Beck’ as she wrote on her blog. This is the description posted on the Amazon website:
‘Over the past 15 years, photographer Autumn de Wilde and musician Beck Hansen s friendship and collaboration have yielded a body of work every bit as playful, innovative, and lyrical as his music. This beautifully designed volume featuring a circular fold-out poster jacket collects the best of these amazing photographs, including intimate portraits as well as images documenting the recording of his seminal album Mutations, and gorgeous photo sessions informed by Surrealism, Dada, Op Art, and other artistic influences. The photos are supplemented by conversations with Beck and contributions from other creative collaborators that shed light sometimes at strange angles on Beck and his music.’
