ARNOLD. Collector’s Edition

Signed by Arnold SchwarzeneggerThis photographic homage to Arnold Schwarzenegger, a decade of collaboration in the making, traces his journey from poverty to Mr. Olympia, to movie star, and to the Governor’s Mansion. The two-volume edition includes portraits by leading photographers – such as Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts, Francesco Scavullo, and Andy Warhol –, vintage bodybuilding images, film stills, dozens of personal photos from Arnold’s private archive, and exclusive interviews. A big, brawny salute to the world’s favorite muscleman!

Collector’s Edition (No. 951–1,947), each copy numbered and signed by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He’s a four-time Mr. Universe, seven-time Mr. Olympia. His films have grossed four billion dollars worldwide. He won the California governor’s race by a landslide. He has one of the most recognizable faces in the world, an oft-imitated accent, and a physique still heralded as the most perfect ever built. He’s Arnold, the one and only, with first name recognition worldwide, and now with a two-volume Collector’s Edition equal to his impressive size and unabashed ego.

A decade of collaboration in the making, this photo tribute covers 75 years of Schwarzenegger, from the future Terminator’s impoverished childhood in Thal, Austria, to his rise as a young athlete, his journey to America to become the most celebrated bodybuilder of all time, to his career as the world’s leading action film star, then into the California governor’s mansion and beyond.
