Content

This astonishing book, selected and designed by William KLEIN himself, offers a visual survey of his long and varied career. It includes his poetic street photography of New York, Moscow, Rome, Tokyo, and Paris; his exciting fashion photography; stills and posters from his bitingly satirical films; and his graphically powerful painted contact sheets. Photo volume 'ABC' is the first comprehensive book on his work published in the United States in 20 years." (© Abrams, 2013)
