London - German art book publisher Benedikt Taschen has released a two-volume collector's edition celebrating the illustrious career of British supermodel Naomi Campbell.

Titled “Naomi Campbell The Art of Beauty,” the monograph charts Campbell's rise to fame as one of the most recallnizable people in the world, notably her collaborations with the greatest legends of fashion and photography, accompanied by beautiful images and exclusive autobiographical text. Her achievements include being the first black cover girl to appear on the front of French Vogue and Time magazine.

Volume 1 contains a collection of images photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Richard Avedon, Anton Corbijn, Patrick Demarchelier, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Mario Testino, Ellen von Unwerth, and Bruce Weber. Volume 2 focuses on Naomi’s autobiography, illustrated by magazine covers, ads, never-before-seen personal snapshots, video stills, and more.

Campbell stated: "The book is a culmination of my life’s work. It includes all that I’ve done in the fashion business for the past 29½ years. The book is a timeline of my career, and has allowed me to remember and give credit to all the wonderful people I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the years.
