Art Portraits (Tapa dura)

Self Portraits features a selection of self-portraits exclusively prepared by Philippe Ségalot, an art curator and the

former head of Christie's contemporary art department. The book includes the best of its kind, spanning the years from

1800 to today, and creates the same feeling as entering an art gallery, as the design is pared-back and simple, with the

artworks take precedence to be celebrated.

Imagined by Philippe Ségalot and Morgane Guillet, this uniquely curated book, created in a bespoke format for

Assouline, takes readers on the most breathtaking walk through the best artist self-portraits in the world. Developed as

a gallery that readers can get immersed in, Self Portraits features some of the world's most recognizable works of art

while showcasing unexpected pieces that depict unique interpretations of the artist behind the canvas, and beyond. It

is completed by an introduction by art curator, critic, and writer Robert Storr.
