Statement by the photographer, William KLEIN
"The idea for the colour and graphics comes from the red lines photographers put around their choices on a contact sheet." (© William KLEIN)
Background information
"'Contacts' is the first collection of William KLEIN’s famous contact sheets, revamped and over-painted. The most important and famous works of this great artist have been chosen and printed from these contact sheets - those very same works that have made him one of the most acclaimed all-around photographers and artists in the last thirty years.
Content
The large prints in the book 'Contacts', some of which have never been published, are reproductions of painted contact sheets, and can be either detached and framed or kept in their original form in the book." (© Contrasto, 2008)
