Legendary in photography and fashion circles, 'Cowboy Kate' is one of the most coveted, collected and influential books of its time. An instant classic when it was first released in the 60s this is the first time that this book has been back in print.
Sam Haskins has the exceptional ability to photograph women with sensitivity, good taste, and a dash of humour. White as flowers, warm as sunshine, wild as whiskey, and swinging like a lamp is our introduction to the gun toting Cowboy Kate. The book follows her through her allegorical experiences in a rough and tough western town. Haskins photographs exploit every subtle gradation of greyscale – his photos are like movie stills.
His photos have been emulated by countless contemporary photographers in addition to being the influence behind Madonna's controversial sex book.
