Builder Levy: Photographer is a definitive monograph covering four decades of the artist’s commitment to social documentary photography. The book features a vast selection of his powerful black-and-white images, most notably his extensive documentation of coal mining communities in Appalachia, which he began in the late 1960s. Levy’s work is characterized by a deep humanism, capturing the dignity and struggle of working-class people, the momentum of the civil rights movement, and the vibrant, often gritty urban life of New York City. The publication includes an essay by writer and critic Lucy Lippard and an interview with the artist, providing deep insight into his technical process and social motivations.
