PATTI SMITH: THE DOORS OF LIGHT (+ UNDERCOVER TOTE)

15 years in the life of the New York punk icon Patti Smith.

“Patti Smith: The Doors of Light” began in 2001, when Japanese photographer Yoshie Tominaga took his first photographs of New York musician Patti Smith. Through various visits - Smith performing in Japan or Tominaga visiting the USA - their photographer-subject relationship continued and grew closer over the years.

The book includes photographs taken between 2001 and 2016 as well as excerpts from Tominaga’s and Smith’s correspondence with each other.
