Helen Levitt : Photographs 1937-1991

Helen Levitt, the visual poet laureate of New York City,
published her magnum opus Crosstown in 2001 to great
acclaim. The book immediately sold out, never to be reprinted,
making it a classic volume of street photography for the
cognoscenti. Levitt went on to author two smaller
volumes, Here and There and Slide Show, her first monograph
exclusively featuring her little-known color work, which
have garnered her accolades from around the globe.
Most recently, she was named the 2008 recipient of
the SPECTRUM International Prize for Photography of
the Foundation of Lower Saxony, an honor previously
bestowed on such luminaries as Robert Adams and
Sophie Calle. Her final book:Helen Levitt, was released in conjunction with
a retrospective exhibition at Germany’s Sprengel Museum
Hannover, the exhibit included her most
iconic works, intermixed with never-before-seen color work.
Combining seven decades of New York City street life with her
seminal work in Mexico City, Helen Levitt’s self-titled compilation features the master works of an incomparable career.
