Conceived and edited by director Martin Bell, husband and collaborator of Mary Ellen Mark for 30 years, The Book of Everything celebrates the extraordinary life, work and vision of Mary Ellen Mark in over 600 images and texts. From 1963 until her death in 2015, Mary Ellen Mark told brilliant, intimate and provocative stories of people she met and committed to, often for life. Mary Ellen Mark’s approach was neither flippant nor prepared; she has always sympathized with the people and places she photographed.
For this comprehensive book, Martin Bell has selected images from thousands of Mary Ellen Mark contact sheets and chrome, from over two million prints in total. These include her own now iconic picks, ones released once and since Lost in Time, as well as some of her still-unreleased favorites. Martin Bell completes them with some selections of his own. In addition to photos of Mary Ellen Mark taken under compelling and often tragic circumstances, The Book of Everything includes memories of friends, colleagues and many photographers. Mark’s own thoughts reveal doubts and uncertainties, her ideas about the people and subjects she has described, as well as the challenges of the world of photography; photos in nb and in colors.
