Grossman Sid - Lot 154
Grossman Sid The Life and Work of Sid Grossman. This retrospective, produced with the Howard Greenberg Collection, accompanies a monographic exhibition at Rencontres d'Arles 2016. In it, we rediscover New Yorker Sid Grossman, co-founder of the Photo League in 1936, who taught Lisette Model, Arthur Leipzig and Louis Stettner, among others. Between documentary and street photography, he took a particular interest in the poor neighborhoods of Harlem and Chelsea, denouncing the insalubrity of the buildings. Suspected of being a communist, he was finally blacklisted by the FBI in 1947. Radical in its time, his work, now brought back to the fore, illustrates the expressionist energy of the "New York School" of the 1950s. Brand new, in original shrink-wrap. Publisher: Steidl
