Lisette Model

Viennese photographer Model (d.1983) was based in New York City, where she worked for Harper's Bazaar before going on to a teaching career at the New School. This large-format volume (12.25x15.25") presents the portraits she made in Europe and the US, some of the well-to-do, but many of the most marginal, seen in bars and on city streets. The volume was first published by Aperture in 1979. Not indexed, it is distributed by Distributed Art Publishers. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
