*Witness to Beauty* is Sage Sohier’s series about a former glamour model—her mother—as she grapples with the challenges of aging and confronts a vanishing world of exquisite beauty. Both humorous and moving, the book explores the shifting realities between generations within a visually captivating life of privilege. Images of Sohier’s mother in her youth, posing as a model for renowned fashion photographers such as Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, provide a poignant contrast to Sohier’s photographs of her mother over time, even as she defies expectations and achieves a quality of timeless perfection. Sage Sohier has received grants from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Four other books of her photographs have been published, and she has exhibited widely. Her works are included in many major collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; text by Marvin Heiferman, color photographs.
