La portada del libro

Todo este trabajo lo autorizó ella, mientras yacía en cama, muy enferma, en el segundo piso.
Dice su asesor, que la única que pensaba que moriría en esta gravedad era Liz.
Todos los demás pensaban que era una crisis mas.
Tal vez sabiendo ésto, autorizó este libro y el trabajo de esta fotógrafa.

"It was serendipity that first brought them together. The women shared an accountant who asked Ms. Opie if she would be interested in an introduction to the movie star. While the photographer was mulling over the offer, she came across William Eggleston’s posthumous portfolio of Graceland photographs, shot at Elvis Presley’s Tennessee home and published in 1984. A light bulb went on for Ms. Opie, whose work revolves around ideas of identity. “I started thinking about that extension of a portrait — how a person’s home is a portrait of them,” she recalls. “It is a real extension of someone. Sometimes a home and how someone actually lives can reveal much more about a person than having them sit for a single portrait.” Ms. Opie arranged a meeting with Tim Mendelson, Ms. Taylor’s longtime secretary, who passed on the star’s enthusiasm for the proposal. She then spent the first half of 2011 in Ms. Taylor’s home, photographing her rooms, gardens and closets, generally with the objects exactly as she found them. They revealed Ms. Taylor’s sophisticated aesthetic, expressed in the arrangement of items on her vanity to her groupings of photographs to the color coordination of her closet. “Elizabeth was very interested in curating her objects,” Ms. Opie observed. “Tim would tell me stories: Elizabeth was an insomniac and sometimes she would be up in the middle of the night in her jewelry closet, just pulling out things to see how they looked together, and he’d come in the next day to a whole new arrangement. She was very interested in organizing her own objects and making these aesthetic decisions around them. That is definitely portrayed in the objects within the house that I took images of.”
