“Though Jackie was famous for her sunglasses,
in two of her most evocative portraits her face is masked in other ways:
by a black mourning veil in one of the funeral photos immortalized by
Andy Warhol and by her hair in Ron Galella’s famous ‘Windblown Jackie.’
Like Garbo, she remained largely silent.”

“Ron Galella had to deal with constant hurtles of court battles, restraining orders, and heavy fines, because Jackie put up a grand front of personal privacy. Fashion designer and director Tom Ford was right on the money when he said, ‘Ironically, the very photographs that Mrs. Onassis resisted were the ones that define her as an icon.’”

“And just when you thought you’d seen every iconic image of Jackie, this 400-page, gilded masterpiece arrives featuring many never-before-published photos of the subject who is arguably the most famous woman in history. ‘She was, and still is, the most famous, most photographed woman in the world,’ Galella writes in his introduction to Jackie: My Obsession.
“I believe only Elvis could meet or exceed her level of fame.”
