Author: Aiken, StephenStephen Aiken's 35mm colour photos are some of the few of the New York 1970s downtown milieu not in black and white. This book collects Aiken's street photogr aphy alongside rare and intimate colour portraits of the scene's creative and artistic royalty, from Patti Smith and Leonard Cohen to William Burroughs and Hannah Wilke. It includes a beautifully written foreword by the artist and critic Walter Robinson, and an introduction by New York Times contributing arts writer Brett Sokol.Aiken's photographs hugely enrich the history of Lower Manhattan’s cultural explosion during this time. His subjects include the writers Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and John Giorno; the artists Joseph Beuys and Hannah Wilke; and the musicians Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and John Cale.ISBN 9781953995032.
