"Many of the images in this book are rare, some are never seen before, until now." - Nadja Sayej, Forbes "Now one of the most iconic faces of classic Hollywood returns to be the star in the photographic book Forever Elizabeth: Iconic Photographs on a Legendary Star published by ACC Art Books..." - Di Nicoletta Spolini, Vogue Italy "Unseen Liz Taylor: New book publishes rare photographs of film legend playing dominoes on set in Sardinia, cooing over her toddler son in 1954 and drinking in a Paris hotel with Richard Burton" - Jo Tweedy, Daily Mail "An extraordinary collection of photographs that celebrates one of Hollywood's most iconic faces." - Donato D'Aprile, L'Officiel Italy "An intimate look at a Hollywood icon." - Closer "The book features set, fashion, portrait and behind-the-scenes photographs from eight renowned photographers - all of whom were captivated by the iconic actress." - Sam Gillette, People Magazine "She was one of the most glamorous women of Hollywood's golden age. Ten years after her death, eight photographers reflect on what it was like to play a part in the creation of her enduring image." - Eve Watling, Independent "She was Hollywood glamour personified and over the course of an astonishing six decade-long career, Elizabeth Taylor would continue to captivate audiences. In a new book, eight photographers reveal their memories of the woman who dazzled through their camera lenses." - Australian Women's Weekly "So when the publicist for ACC Art Books reached out to me and said she had a publication named Forever Elizabeth: Iconic Photographers on a Legendary Star, I was pretty sure I had seen it all and would not find anything new in the book. I am delighted to report I was wrong." - Marion Fasel, The Adventurine "Elizabeth Taylor may been married eight times (twice to Richard Burton), but her greatest love affair was with the camera. Proof positive is this splendid book by Robert Risko which features minimal text and hundreds of dazzling shots of the violet-eyed beauty." - Daniel Bubbeo, Newsday "This is a huge and luxurious book full of photographs of Elizabeth Taylor in her prime - and one has to say, what a prime it was. Eight photographers, including Norman Parkinson and Terry O'Neill, contribute pictures -some never before seen - and comment on how wonderful, marvellous, enigmatic and professional she was." - Marcus Berkmann, Mail Online "...as you spend more time with the book, you come to realize that you can't tear your eyes away from the pages as easily as you might flit from one star's Instagram account to another's. Elizabeth Taylor, it turns out, may have been the inspiration for an entire generation, but she was an altogether singular actress, and woman." - Air Mail "Bling, boobs & booze: She was famous for her diamonds, her tempestuous love for Richard Burton and her luminous acting. Now, a book of iconic images peels away the layers to reveal the woman behind the legend." - Roger Lewis, Daily Mail "Dozens of equally brilliant images fill the pages of Forever Elizabeth: Iconic Photographers On A Legendary Star (ACC Books), a compilation of eight leading photographers' work with Taylor through the years." - Hayley Maitland, Vogue UK "A refined actress throughout her career, this absorbing volume celebrates Taylor's achievements and undeniable star quality." - The Lady "Featuring a collection of never-before-seen images, Forever Elizabeth: Iconic Photographers on a Legendary Star offers an intimate glimpse into what it was like to work with Taylor." - Sabrina Park, Harpers Bazaar (US, Australia & Indonesia) "Taylor's lasting magnetism is, in part, due to her undeniable beauty." - Tom & Lorenzo "...lavish book." - The Lady Magazine
