Private View: Inside Baryshnikov's American Ballet Theatre

This beautiful book is filled with many black and white artist quality photos of Baryshnikov and his dancers, during his tenure as head of the ABT. He was at his prime, and the photos are particularly beautiful. Most are candid, backstage or in rehearsal, and you can see his grace even when he is standing around in sweats watching others. The combination of photos and great backstage stories gives this book a place of honor in my dance collection. A wonderful document of a past beautiful time and a must for any Baryshnikov fan as well.
