The Art of Giving 1987 hardcover book by Steve Lovi. Published by Harry N Abrams Inc, 1987. A richly illustrated tribute to the art of imaginative gift giving involving some of Europe's most fascinating people, including Sophia Loren, Prince Rainier, Salvador Dali, Audrey Hepburn and Rudolf Nureyev, to name a few. 235 photographs, 186 in full color. A glamorous look at celebrity gift-giving on an international scale features imaginative gift giving involving some of Europe's most renown people, Steve Lovi was the photographer. He has photographed a number of Kaffe Fassett's beautiful books. Stuart Jacobson's book was a wonderful discovery. Each page is a story about a gift from one famous person to another. With each story is a photograph of the gift. Steve Lovi's photographs also tell a story. This is a book to be read slowly; one gift at a time. " In the intriguing pages of this strikingly handsome and superbly illustrated book we come close to many of the outstanding personalities of our day - individuals who have achieved renown in the realms of literature, science, art, film, theater, statecraft, finance, fashion, high society. In every case there is the story of a cherished gift, and the text sparkles with anecdotes - romantic, touching, and funny in turn. How could it not, with a cast of characters that includes - to make a random selection - Twiggy and Sir Yehudi Menuhin, Jackie Stewart and Herbert von Karajan, Pope John Paul II and Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida and Shimon Peres, Audrey Hepburn and Marcel Marceau, Anthony Quinn and Giorgio Armani. These are only a fraction of the talented and titled, the brilliant and successful gift givers who fill the pages of The Art Of Giving with romance and sentiment - and history. The author of this book has discovered what should have been obvious: that people's tenderest, most intimate, and most glamorous memories are tied up with gifts that they have given and received." The book includes 235 photographs, including 186 plates in full color. "The Art Of Giving" by Stuart E. Jacobson, Text by Drusilla Beyfus, Photography by Steve Lovi, and Design by John Lynch...
