Join us for a conversation with Jonathan Becker discussing important issues at the center of arts & culture and his observations on media today, including the business of publishing in a digital world.
As one of the great visual storytellers of our time, Becker has worked in an exclusive world of aristocrats, artists, and heads of state most would never observe except through the lens of his Rolleiflex. He’s documented for Vanity Fair HRH King Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles at their first public appearance together in Buckingham Palace, “Dr. Death” Jack Kevorkian, China’s outspoken human rights activist Ai Weiwei, the mother of modern dance Martha Graham, as well as countless other fascinating characters from the rarefied worlds of art, literature, politics, pop culture, and society.
Becker grew up in New York and was mentored by legendary photographer Brassaï in Paris in the 1970s. His career began at Interview and W magazines, followed by working with Slim Aarons and Frank Zachary at Town & Country in the 1980s. Becker has also contributed his portraits extensively at Vogue, The New Yorker, and many other major magazines. His other books for Assouline include “Bright Young Things New York” and “Bright Young Things London.
