A curated collection of more than sixty self-portraits, assembled by Philippe Ségalot and Morgane Guillet and arranged chronologically from 1800 to the present. The selection moves across mediums — painting, photography, neon, found objects — tracing how artists have continually redefined what a self-portrait can be. From Monet and Caillebotte to David Hammons and Elizabeth Peyton, each work reveals what the artist chose to show, and how they wished to be seen.

Presented at scale with no distraction, the book reads as a gallery in itself. Introduced by an introspective text from Robert Storr, former Dean of the Yale School of Art.
