A photographic publication documenting early images of Madonna taken in 1979, prior to her global rise to fame.

Photographed by Martin H. M. Schreiber, the series captures Madonna at the beginning of her career, when she was working as a dancer in New York. These images present a raw and unguarded perspective, far removed from the constructed persona that would later define her public image.

Originally produced as part of an academic photography session, the photographs gained significant attention after Madonna’s emergence as a cultural icon in the 1980s. The publication reflects this transformation, positioning the images within a broader narrative of identity, authorship, and media reinterpretation.

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.
