Synopsis

'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.

About this title

Review

Allan Tannenbaum's photographs of the 1970s are as wildly entertaining and energetic as that wonderful and bizarre decade itself. The form and important visual history of a moment when American culture changed forever --David Schonauer, Editor-in-Chief, American Photo. 'A valuable, lasting remembrance of things past --Ron Rosenbaum. 'What Weegee was to photojournalism in the 1930s and 1940s, Allan Tannenbaum is to the 1970s. This volume of Tannenbaum's critical mass of New York's underside establishes him as one of the most important photographers of his time, in a city that has one of the most historic traditions of documentary photography' --Miles Barth

About the Author

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.
