It didn’t stop. Davé was the most fashionable eatery in Paris for three whole decades... incroyable!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDavé’s clientele were his customers and his friends. The restaurant was always open but also, according to the sign on the door, always COMPLET. If you knew Davé you would be seated and served, without a menu or regard to prices. It was an open secret that everyone was there and yet absolute privacy was maintained. And all secrets would remain sealed but for the fact that Davé took pictures, Polaroids of everyone who was anyone, photos with him in early selfie style, with each other in, in endlessly unexpected combinations, and solo, in disarmingly off-guard portraits. These are the pictures that make up \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eA NIGHT AT DAVÉ\u003c\/span\u003e, a Polaroid book of historic proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere are three texts. Sofia Coppola has written the foreword. Her father is a lifelong friend of Davé and Sofia has frequented the restaurant since she was a child. The celebrated French writer Jean-Jaques Schuhl contributes an epilogue of suitably literary delectation, an excerpt from his 2010 novel \u003ci\u003eEntrée des Fantômes\u003c\/i\u003e, translated for the first time into English by Charles Morin. And there is an interview with Davé himself in which he tells stories that, in some cases, reveal more about the photographs than the Polaroids themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn addition to the Polaroids there are unique artworks—tokens of affection gifted to Davé by his artist friends, sketched on menus, scribbled on business cards, or even directly on the tables. Unpublished drawings by Jean-Paul Gaultier, Keith Haring, George Condo and Martin Kippenberger, a note from Henri Cartier-Bresson, postcards from Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eA NIGHT AT DAVÉ\u003c\/span\u003e is a story very vividly told!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe book has a Polaroid of just about EVERYONE. Some IDEA favourites (and least likely contenders) pulled from the multitude of names: Iggy Pop, Rei Kawakubo, Sarah Moon, Lou Reed, Yoko Ono, Madonna, John Travolta, Tina Turner, Jeanne Moreau, Alexander McQueen and Janet Jackson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA NIGHT AT DAVÉ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eA book conceived by Charles Morin and Boris Bergmann\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eClothbound hardcover with tip on print\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e22 x 27cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e224 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFirst edition of 1000\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDEA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57360545546580,"sku":"IDEA_DAVE_02","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1169\/3076\/files\/00CoverPackshot.jpg?v=1763390605","url":"https:\/\/havensurf.com\/products\/idea-a-night-at-dave-second-edition","provider":"Haven Surf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
