Description

Lee Miller had many lives: she was a model, muse, photographer, war correspondent and Surrealist chef. Through this publication, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen reveals the less-well-known fact that, during her lifetime, Miller’s impressive oeuvre was mainly accessible in magazines. Curator Saskia van Kampen-Prein traces Miller’s life and work through the pages of popular lifestyle magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar and avant-garde Surrealist periodicals. Through these magazines, Miller helped to shape the modern world and was her whole life ‘in print’.

Written by Saskia van Kampen-Prein, with short essays by: Antony Penrose, Ami Bouhassane, Madelief Hohé, Hripsimé Visser, Julie Summers, Robin Muir, Lisa Hostetler, Hilary Roberts

This beautiful exhibition catalogue accompanied the ‘Lee Miller in Print’ exhibition at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, which ran from November 2023 to February 2024.
