71New York

Wonderful reproduction of one of Moriyama's seminal bodies of work - in perfect condition. Brilliant, highly sought-after pocket book version (sold out very quickly) of the legendary New York series, "In 1971, Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama took a trip to New York City with Tadanori Yokoo. He stayed at the Chelsea Hotel and spent his days in The Museum of Modern Art Photography Study Center looking at pictures taken by Weegee. He shot one hundred rolls of film with a half-frame camera, yielding seventy images per roll. Some of those pictures are presented here". "`71-NY" is an elegant production in terms of both the book`s design and the quality of its reproductions of Daido`s imagery. It includes a facsimile and English translation of a letter from Moriyama, an interview with the photographer, as well as excerpted passages from James Baldwin`s "Another Country".
