A stunning book of photographs of one of the great dancers of the 20th century.
Mikhail Baryshnikov is one of the leading dancers of our times. He joined the Kirov Ballet in 1979 and five years later defected, settling in New York as a principal dancer for the American Ballet Company.
Through his distinguished career, he has collaborated with such American ballet legends as George Ballanchine, Twyla Tharp, and Mark Morris, with whom he co-founded the White Oak Dance Project in 1990 and has appeared in over a hundred ballets.
'Baryshnikov: In Black and White' contains over 170 chronologically ordered photographs, taken by leading dance photographers that chart Baryshnikov's evolution and capture his legendary athleticism, energy and charisma.
Stunningly designed, with an introduction by his biographer and New York dance critic Joan Acocella, it is the definitive visual companion to Baryshnikov's extraordinary career.
