Schnabel is a major force in the international art scene. Shot with an extraordinary 20 x 24 inch vintage camera, his intimate and revealing large format images are printed in colour and black and white; some have been hand coloured or painted on; and many are previously unpublished. The photographs include intriguing portraits of the artist's family and friends, including Lou Reed, Placido Domingo, the Beastie Boys, and Mickey Rourke. There are also private spaces dear to Schnabel, such as his own Palazzo Chupi in New York City - which he designed and decorated - as well as interiors of studios in Brooklyn, Montauk, and Long Island. Together these Polaroids create a unique tableau, both intensely personal and poetic.

While the world evaporates into the digital, the anachronistic Polaroid snapshot dominates media and advertising. The recent sale of the photography collection owned by Polaroid’s inventor, Edwin Land, to the Viennese photography museum WestLicht marks an artmarket trend toward the analog. Beginning in the sixties, Polaroid supplied artists around the world, from Ansel Adams to Andy Warhol, with each one of the imperium’s latest products. In return, 4,400 works by 800 photographers found their way into the company’s International Collection at their European headquarters near Frankfurt am Main. In 2008, when the last instant-film factory was rescued from demolition by the company Impossible, the founder’s commitment to collecting could be carried on as well. This publication features selected Polaroid masterpieces and new Impossible instant photography by contemporary artists such as Stefanie Schneider and Nobuyoshi Araki.

攝影就是要立即分享！ Polaroid拍立得改變了攝影 Andy Warhol、Ansel Adams、Walker Evans、André Kertész等大攝影家 都曾以拍立得創作偉大作品！ 一九七○年代，每年有十億張照片是拍立得作品。拍立得改寫了攝影文化史，生活照不必再送進專業暗房經過長時間的洗沖，只要十幾秒的聊天時間，照片就顯像完成。而且拍立得不只是拍攝生活照，嚴肅的攝影家和藝術家──Andy Warhol、Ansel Adams、David Hockney、Walker Evans、William Wegman、Robert Mapplethorpe、André Kertész也以拍立得創作過偉大的作品。 蘭德於一九三○年代創立寶麗來公司（Polaroid），剛開始專注於生產偏光鏡，一九四三年後，蘭德突然把興趣轉向拍立得相機，如何將感光後的底片，在一台小小的相機內完成沖洗的暗房過程，成為史上最具挑戰和創意、也是最成功的其中一項發明！ 為了改善拍立得底片的整體表現，蘭德於一九四九年以每個月一百美金聘請風景攝影大師亞當斯擔任拍立得顧問，之後寶麗來公司更進一步主動和各藝術家合作，提供他們拍立得底片，而拍攝出來的作品則當作寶麗來公司的收藏，為拍立得在藝術創作奠定深厚的基礎。 即使今日數位相機當道，但寶麗來拍立得已經由相機升華為一種攝影次文化：古董造型的機身、黃褐色的照片、照片四邊寬大的白框……在復古風潮下，拍立得照片即有數位相機拍完立即看的優點，更有不可複製的特性。 本書收錄多張攝影家的拍立得作品，圍繞著蘭德和每一代拍立得的歷史，帶你走過尚未數位化前最具生命力的攝影故事。
