An unique occasion for William Klein's collectors.
The most emblematic works in a volume that pays homage to Klein's work. From the perspective of his 90 years of age, from the height of being a legend in photography, William Klein looks back and selects his favourite works, those that he considers to be the best in his whole career, in order to pay homage to photography itself. This book, not by chance titled Celebration, is a tour to his most emblematic works: unique instants captured in New York, Rome, Moscow and Paris, in powerful black and white or striking colour. A true celebration of photography. This volume also includes a text by th e author in which he reflects upon photographic art and explains what prompted him to make this sort of director's cut, this exceptionally personal selection, which brings together the works that, in his view, have made a contribution to the world of photography. A small-format but high-voltage volume that, page after page, makes it clear why Klein is one of the summits of contemporary photography. 120 images
Explore photographer William Klein's seminal work, now available in a compact and attractively priced edition. Working at the nexus of painting and photography, William Klein conceived this original series when he was in the process of reviewing other photographers' contact sheets for a film he was making. Referencing the age of film photography, when photographers selected images by circling individual negatives on a contact sheet with brightly colored grease pencils, Klein's works invent a new kind of art object that organically marries painting and photography. The resulting pieces are enormous mural-sized works in which bold, kinetic color frames and reframes enlarged black-and-white images from throughout his career. Klein's iconic fashion and street photography, always gritty and bold, is given a new immediacy and relevance in this second life. In his foreword to this edition, Klein describes these works as "all brush strokes and jubilation. The jubilation of painting recall[s] the celebration of taking the photo."
