On Friday, March 5th at 7 pm, The Booksmith in San Francisco will host acclaimed photographer JOEL-PETER WITKIN for a slideshow, talk and booksigning. Witkin will be making a rare public appearance to celebrate the release of his new book, 'The Bone House' (hardback in slipcase, $75.00).

Published by Twin Palms, this absolutely gorgeous, beautifully printed 196 page book measures 10 x 10 inches and comes with with 92 four-color plates. 'The Bone House' is a retrospective look at the work of one of the late 20th century's most profound and disturbing artists.

For this new collection, Joel-Peter Witkin has personally selected from his own archives his finest images, ranging from his early Coney Island 'freak show' studies to his most recent work.
