William Klein Contacts

William Klein (born 1928 in New York) is among the most important photographers of our time. He started his carreer with the publication of Life is Good and Good for You in New York. This immensely important photographic study was to be followed by Rome, Moscow, Tokyo, and Paris + Klein. This resulting series of books inspired an aesthetic revolution.
Contacts is the first collection of William Klein’s famous contact sheets, revamped and over-painted. The most important and famous works of this great artist have been chosen and printed from these contact sheets - those very same works that have made him one of the most acclaimed all-around photographers and artists in the last thirty years.
The large prints in the book, some of which have never been published, are reproductions of painted contact sheets, and can be either detached and framed or kept in their original form in the book.
The hardcover special edition of the book is contained in a black decorative slipcase and includes a print, signed by William Klein. Large oblong folio.
