Klementaski Himself - Portfolio Edition
Sold for £428
(including buyers premium)
Klemantaski Himself is Louis's account of his somewhat eccentric rise to fame and his long association with motor sports, told with great wit and gentle selfdeprecation. His oeuvre was extraordinary not only for its aesthetic quality but also for its diversity. In selecting the photographs for his memoirs, Klemantaski drew on every field of his photographic work, collected here together for the first time. Klemantaski Himself will be of great interest and incalculable historical value to motor racing enthusiasts and lovers of photography alike. Louis Klemantaski, motor racing photographer, was born on February 12, 1912. He died in Bath on June 24, 2001, aged 89. Limited to 300 numbered & signed copies. This edition includes a copy of Klemantaski Himself together with a Portfolio featuring 70 of the Author's favourite photographs each individually tipped in to the portfolio. Both volumes are bound in buckram and presented in a slipcase.
