Prince: Icon cover

"Rare and Striking photos..." — Vanity Fair France

"...the book does not just focus on Prince’s best known looks, but creates a sense of the man himself, and all the elements that afford him ‘icon’ status during his decades-long career.." — Digital Camera Magazine
"A New Prince Photography Book Cements His Status as an ‘Icon’— And It’s Already a Bestseller"  Billboard

This sumptuous and luxuriously produced volume gathers portraits, album covers, photographs of performances and rehearsals, rarely seen private moments, and candid snapshots of Prince, one of the greatest singer-songwriters of his generation. This collection from ACC Art Books & Iconic Images - publishers of the bestselling book Bowie: Icon - was curated in consultation with Steve Parke, and its impact is both powerful, and inspiring. With images by renowned and little-known photographers from around the world, close friends, and colleagues, the result is the most opulent visual anthology of Prince that has ever been published. Accompanying personal essays and reflections offer unprecedented insight into what he was like: from memories of the earliest days in Minneapolis to touring the world, each contributor shares their memories and experiences of working with - and knowing - this legendary artist.

"""We think we've seen it all when it comes to Prince . The kohl-lined gaze, the swaying around the microphone stand, the flamboyant costumes. To see the man beyond the stage icon, a new book of photographs offers a new perspective. Prince: Icon, published by ACC Art Books, brings together more than 180 rare shots of this music legend who remained mysterious and elusive despite the spotlight."" ""Rare and Striking photos...""" - Vanity Fair France
"""A New Prince Photography Book Cements His Status as an ‘Icon’— And It’s Already a Bestseller"" ""Prince‘s legacy continues to live on through his music, and now a new book about the late artist will reassert his icon status through a “significant collection” of photos. Fans may have just celebrated the 40th anniversary of Purple Rain by streaming the album, watching the movie and flipping through the collectible book, but the celebration continues on with the latest book Prince: Icon.""" - Billboard
