A rare and immersive retrospective of Gus Van Sant’s multidisciplinary work, Icons was published on the occasion of his major exhibition at the Cinémathèque Française. Known for films like My Own Private Idaho, Elephant, and Milk, Van Sant's influence extends far beyond cinema into photography, painting, music, and visual storytelling.
This expansive volume presents an intimate look at the iconography and emotional undercurrents that shape his universe blending storyboards, film stills, Polaroids, drawings, and handwritten notes. It captures Van Sant’s singular ability to portray youth, queerness, isolation, and longing with poetic restraint and radical tenderness.
More than a catalogue, Icons is a personal archive of a visionary whose sensitivity and aesthetic have deeply marked contemporary culture. An essential piece for cinephiles, art book collectors, and anyone drawn to the soft edge between film and fine art.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
