Riassunto

"New York in the 70s" is a personal collection of photographs documenting an exciting chapter in New York's history - and a remarkable body of work produced by photographer Allan Tannenbaum while he was a photo editor of the "SoHo Weekly News in Manhattan". The photographs encompass many aspects of New York life while capturing the heady exuberance of the era - from SoHo and the art world to the city's politics and society. By photographing everything from street gangs to disco divas, from homeless to Hollywood stars, Tannenbaum had assembled a personal diary of his journey as a photojournalist and raconteur through a strange and exotic era of New York life.

L'autore:

Allan Tannenbaum's career in photography spans more than four decades. His first work as a professional photographer was in 1973 for the 'SoHo Weekly News', and he remained with that paper until it folded in 1982. His work has appeared in many books and magazines, as well as regularly in publications such as 'Newsweek', 'Time', 'Life', 'Paris Match' and 'Stern'. He is the author of three books of photography including 'New York' (Feierabend, 2004) and 'John and Yoko: A New York Love Story' (Insight Editions, 2007). In recent years his work with survivors of the 9/11 attack demonstrates his desire to expose little known perspectives on the attack.
