Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A compact survey of the work of William Klein, best known for his series New York. William Klein (1928-2022) was a photographer who always moved against the current. A painter, filmmaker, graphic designer and fashion photographer, Klein's shots were intense and immediate, disrupting the established order of things and capturing fragmented snatches of distortion and movement. Although best known for his images of New York in the 1950s, he also worked in other urban environments, including Tokyo and Moscow, as well as producing a striking series of painted contact sheets. Featuring 66 of his most acclaimed photographs, this survey shows how his insatiable desire to confront the chaos of the world always shone through. The Photofile Series Photofile brings together the best work of the world's greatest photographers in an attractive, accessible, pocket-sized format. Handsome and collectable, the books are printed to the highest standards. Each one contains over sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography.
