William Klein, (New York 1926), an American photographer, made snapshots in New York and also became famous as a fashion photographer. After the second world war he mainly works in Paris. William Klein's wide-ranging career has encompassed groundbreaking 'snapshot aesthetic' photographs of New York, some of the most iconic fashion photography, and proto-Pop films. Yet this varied output is unified by his uniquely idiosyncratic and consistently experimental approach. His work has been shown in major venues across the world, including the Museum of Modern Art de la Ville, Paris and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
