Lee Miller in Print: publication

Lee Miller in Print is the culmination of years of research into Miller’s published body of work. This research has uncovered numerous previously unknown examples of Miller’s work in the archives of dozens of magazines – from well-known titles such as Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue to small-circulation avant-garde periodicals. The book provides a rich overview of Miller’s work and contains texts by, among others, curator Saskia van Kampen-Prein. The exhibition at Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen features approximately a hundred historical magazines, vintage prints, films, archival materials and much more.
