International man of business, traveler, and collector, Jean Pigozzi has spent the better part of the past three decades cultivating a frank and humorous catalogue of the world around him. The camera is an extension and defining element of his identity wherever he goes, and with it Pigozzi creates an unusual brand of high-society portraiture that speaks to his penchant for celebrating life rather than exposing celebrity secrets.

The fourth monograph of his work, Catalogue Déraisonné, is a thoughtfully irreverent review of his recent photographic finds. This compact volume resonates with a cast of eccentric, occasionally glamorous characters caught in the off-the-cuff arrangements of reportage. Constantly on the move, Pigozzi is marked by his dual status as insider and outsider, and he grants us an in-depth look at an inaccessible world.
