The Queen of Versailles

<p><strong>The complete photographic record of the iconic documentary, where extreme wealth, greed, overreach, and reality-TV culture converge in one distinctly American story told by Lauren Greenfield, named by <em>The New York Times</em> as “America’s foremost visual chronicler of the plutocracy”. In the age of the one percent (1%) – those with a net worth of over $30 million – this is a story that will shake-up the national conversation around oligarchy, inequality, and the definition of economic well-being. </strong></p><p>A century after Theodore Dreiser and F. Scott Fitzgerald mapped the American Dream’s promise and peril, Lauren Greenfield’s latest photographic monograph visually recaptures the origin story behind her hit 2012 critically acclaimed film, named by <em>Vogue</em> as one of the best documentaries of all time. It is published when the issues raised by her work are more critical than ever – and as they have ever been. </p>
