Bottega Book

Beginning with the photographer Philip-Lorca diCorcia in 2005, Bottega Veneta’s Tomas Maier has worked with a retinue of big-name artists—Tina Barney, Nobuyoshi Araki, Jack Pierson, David Armstrong, and Larry Sultan included—to create ad campaigns that transcend their commercial purpose. Bottega Veneta: Art of Collaboration, out this month from Rizzoli, compiles the images into one formidable vision of the always elegantly subdued brand.
