Background information
"These pictures began alongside Walker EVANS in 1938. Four decades later, Helen LEVITT returned to the underground in 1978. She apparently continued her work from where she left off in 1938, but now proceeded more spontaneously, increasingly focusing on her freelance street photography. In the 1970s, the behavior of passengers in the subway was much more casual and provided more room for maneuver. The most comprehensive publication so far of her photographs from the New York Subway contains many works that are being published here for the first time." (publisher's note, © König, 2017)
