Presents a collection of photographs by the iconic American artist, whose career as a fashion and fine art photographer spanned a period of thirty years until his untimely death from AIDS in 2002.

The definitive book on the life of the legendary photographer Herb Ritts, with never-before-seen images and interviews with his closest confidants. At the time of his death in 2002, Herb Ritts was among the most celebrated photographers in celebrity portraiture, fashion, and music videos. During a career that spanned nearly thirty years, he was virtually in a league of his own in terms of style and productivity. Ritts was Hollywood royalty, as were his closest friends and the subjects he photographed. "The Golden Hour" reveals for the first time the personal aspects of Ritts's world, work, and legacy. The book includes many never-before-seen photographs and scores of interviews from business associates, curators, staff, lovers, and family, such as Cindy Crawford, Elton John, Anna Wintour, Madonna, Calvin Klein, and Christopher Buckley (Ritts's college roommate). The book includes images from Ritts's personal archive--behind the scenes at photo shoots, parties, travels, intimate portraits, and moments with friends--along with notes and contact sheets that show how ideas became his best-known iconic images.

Herb Ritts is one of the most notorious and successful photographers working today. The Los Angeles-based imagemaker has created portfolios for Vogue, Vanity Fair, and other magazines, done movie ads and music videos, and worked with fashion-world clients such as Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani. This sumptuous catalogue, published to accompany an exhibition at the Fondation Cartier pour I'art contemporain in Paris, includes an interview with Herb Ritts. One hundred photographs, some previously unpublished, exemplify the rigorous, disconcerting work of one of the most remarkable photographers of the contemporary art, fashion, and entertainment worlds.

The owner of the struggling Spur Ranch, Eden Rossiter is struggling to cope with Duke DePard, the ruthless owner of a nearby spread who is trying to squeeze her out, and her gambler brother Vince, until she joins forces with Kincade, a former Texas rodeo rider.
