A rare and atmospheric first United States edition of Improbable Memories by celebrated photographer Sarah Moon, published in 1981 by Delpire Editeur. Conceived and edited by legendary art director Robert Delpire, with the collaboration of Françoise Sadoux, this monograph captures Moon’s signature ethereal and dreamlike vision at the height of her influence.
The volume brings together Moon’s iconic fashion and photographic work created for Marie-Claire, Vogue (French and Italian editions), Harper’s Bazaar, Cacharel, The Sunday Times of London, Nova, Pentax, Arkitektur & Wohnen, and more. Printed in Switzerland with rich, moody plates, the book includes fashion imagery and nudes rendered in Moon’s unmistakable soft-focus, poetic style.
Long out of print and increasingly scarce, this First United States Edition is especially uncommon in the American English language issue and is highly sought after by collectors of fashion photography, surrealist imagery, and late-20th-century art books.
A beautiful and evocative monograph — ideal for collectors of fashion photography, curated libraries, or refined coffee-table display.
