Description

William Klein’s “New York 1954.55” is a monumental revision of his 1956 classic, widely regarded as one of the most influential photobooks ever published. Returning to his native city after years in Paris, Klein captured a “tabloid gone berserk” version of New York, filled with violence, humor, and social satire. This edition significantly expands the original work with nearly 100 additional pages and dozens of never-before-seen images. Utilizing intentional blur, heavy grain, and radical framing, Klein broke every photographic taboo of the era to create a cinematic, visceral diary of a city in constant motion.
