Reverse Keith Richards: Henri Alexander Levy
Henri Alexander Levy – Reverse Keith Richards
Hardcover Artist Book | First Edition, 2018 | Enfants Riches Déprimés
Reverse Keith Richards is a rare hardcover artist book by Henri Alexander Levy, the founder and creative force behind the cult luxury-punk label Enfants Riches Déprimés. Released in 2018 in a tightly controlled edition, the book is a raw, fragmented portrait of celebrity decay, addiction, and self-obsession—told through Levy’s signature visual language of scrawled text, stark photography, and nihilistic imagery.
Structured like a stream-of-consciousness diary, the book blends personal confession, cultural criticism, and punk irreverence into a brutalist, emotionally-charged artifact. Its title riffs on the mythos of rock icon Keith Richards, flipping the archetype of glamorized destruction into something more introspective and fatalistic.
