Joffrey Book Wins Gold IPPY Award

The book Joffrey Ballet: An American Classic, in which Barbara's photography is featured recently earned a gold medal from the Independent Publishers Book Awards. The 2007 'IPPY' program received 2,690 entries this year in 65 different categories. Entries were received from all 50 states, 8 Canadian Provinces and 17 countries from around the world. The Joffrey book was awarded their medal in the Performing Arts Category. Only one gold medal was awarded in each category.

"The Joffrey Ballet has been a great love of mine for over forty years," Barbara said. "Shooting backstage continues to deepen my respect for the artists and for what goes into creating such a brilliant ballet company. I have been in awe of Herb Migdoll's work for many years. He has been one of my mentors. It is an honor to have photographs included in this volume along with his stunning images."

Joffrey Ballet: An American Classic can be purchased directly from the Joffrey online store.
