Description

When it first appeared in 1971, Larry Clark’s “Tulsa” sparked immediate controversy for its graphic depictions of drug abuse, sex, and violence among Oklahoma youth. Clark, a native of Tulsa and a participant in the scenes he recorded, stripped away the myth of Middle American immunity to social convulsions. This 2000 Grove Press edition reproduces the raw, haunting black-and-white imagery that established a new standard for autobiographical photography, influencing directors like Martin Scorsese and Gus Van Sant.
