"Elliott Erwitt has captured many images that have become modern masterpieces. His incomparable visual talent captures something special—something that transcends the moment, allowing it to live on and take on a life of its own. This limited edition brings together some of his most memorable works in a groundbreaking collection. From his image of Marilyn in the white dress to his portrait of a Chihuahua—dressed to match a pair of women's legs and a Great Dane—in every instance, it was Erwitt’s impeccable sense of the right moment, and his eye for the remarkable—be it a glance, a movement, or an interaction—that made the work unique. Each of these icons is a depiction of our way of life, an enduring symbol of the era and its vitality that will represent our world for future generations" (teNeues website, translated from the German).
