‘Provoke’ is the first complete publication of Peter Anderson’s entire photographic collection of Madonna. Comprising of all the celebrated portraits, unprinted negatives, unpublished colour slides, never before seen collages, discarded darkroom prints and the contact sheets. In short everything.

Shot on the roof-top of the Warner Brothers (WEA) Building, Broadwick Street Soho, London – Thursday 13 October 1983. The shoot was originally commissioned for the NME, by Barbara Charone, Head of Press at Warner Brothers (WEA). Peter had one hour with Madonna before the light was dropping. “I first met Madonna at a record company office in Soho. It was her second trip to London. She was running late from shopping. She quickly put her make-up on, then we headed up to the roof of the building. Her beauty radiated as she danced and performed for the camera” – Peter Anderson.

The Limited Edition features a unique surface mounted darkroom photograph (an original exposure test from 1983). 156 pages, bound with a thread sewn spine, in a handmade ebony hardback cover. The ‘Provoke’ title is de-bossed in a brilliant white, high gloss foil. Includes a signed, stamped and numbered insert card. An absolute must for all serious collectors.
