Terry – The Terry Richardson Purple Book is a deeply personal and visually arresting collection of images by the controversial photographer Terry Richardson. Published in 2004 by Purple Institute Paris, this first edition softcover book (98 pages, 21 x 27.5 cm) serves as an evolving self-portrait, blending intimate moments from Richardson’s life with his signature raw and provocative style.
The photographs, sourced from Richardson's personal archives, chronicle his American childhood, rebellious adolescence, and present-day experiences. The book features candid images of his family—his father, mother, and grandmother—as well as friends, models, and snapshots from the periphery of his work in fashion photography.
With its blend of diaristic documentation and unfiltered imagery, Terry provides a rare glimpse into the life behind the lens, making it an essential piece for collectors of contemporary photography and fans of Richardson’s distinct aesthetic.
