Live Forever is the first collection of Elizabeth Peyton's acclaimed drawings, paintings and photography. The book contains portraits of pop stars, historical figures, and friends of the artist. Many of Peyton's pictures are derived from photographs and magazines, though they exhibit a painterly quality which belies their sources. The book's small scale suits perfectly Peyton's intimate approach to portraiture, and brings out the sensual strength of her artistry.
