Prince: Black, White, Color

A must-have for Prince fans everywhere. Prince: Black, White, Color by Steve Parke reveals a unique collection of exclusive photographs, some famous and many previously unseen, all captured by Prince's own trusted art director, award-winning photographer Steve Parke. Marking the 10th anniversary of Prince's death, these stunning images offer an unprecedented view of the reclusive singer at home, at work in the studio, posing for portraits, and relaxing with his inner circle.

One of the most revered names in the pantheon of late-20th-century pop icons, Prince was nothing if not enigmatic. His shyness sharply contrasted his extravagant and sexually charged performances, while the privacy with which he conducted his personal life belied his staggering global fame. Now, Steve Parke's intimate photos allow readers an extremely rare glimpse of Prince at his Paisley Park home and his sun-drenched house in Marbella, moments of quiet tenderness with his first wife, Mayte Garcia, and their beloved dog, Mia.

A beautifully produced 288-page, large-format book, this is Prince as he's never been seen before.
