Face to Face presents a selection of portraits of artists by three
of the most prominent portrait artists of our time. Bringing
together the diverse and distinctive work of Tacita Dean, Brigitte
Lacombe, and Catherine Opie, this book forms an investigation into
the charged genre of portraiture and its various approaches,
navigating tensions between intimacy and publicity. While the three
artists collected here share a wide set of historical touchstones,
each deploys the camera differently: Dean exploits cinema's
capacity for duration; Lacombe takes her cameras out on assignment;
Opie works in the tradition of the studio photograph. Often
overlapping in the subjects depicted, Face to Face offers an
opportunity to look closely at bracing, intimate, and resonant
portraits of the seminal thinkers and makers that these artists
have encountered across the fields of music, painting, photography,
film, and literature, among them Hilton Als, Maya Angelou, Richard
Avedon, Joan Didion, David Hockney, Joan Jonas, Fran Lebowitz Patti
Smith, Kara Walker, and many others. Published in conjunction with
an exhibition at the International Center of Photography (ICP), New
York, the book includes essays by the exhibition's curator, Helen
Molesworth, and the artist and writer Jarrett Earnest
