Review
'When Weegee started out he was considered a tabloid photographer, someone out there taking lurid, disgusting shots that were not for ‘nice’ people. And now today he is considered an artist, or at least an art photographer. But more importantly he recorded the times, the scene, the New York City he saw around him, the five boroughs. He captured not just death and disaster – concepts which would later entrance everyone from Andy Warhol to Damien Hirst – but people, places, buildings, that otherwise would indeed have vanished for ever.' (Tana Jamowitz, author of The Slaves of New York, Independent)
'Presented beautifully.'(British Journal of Photography)
'[A] bawdy collection packed with murderers and corpses, overweight cabaret stars too gaudily made-up, and tatooed joes lolling on the beach. Weegee's pictures have an urgency that far outlives the tabloids in which they first appeared.' (Daily Telegraph)
'A great introduction to the Weegee world.' (Guardian)
