"American born photographer William Klein returned to New York in 1954 after living several years in Paris. Alexander Lieberman, art director of Vogue magazine, gave Klein the assignment to photograph New York. A cheap hotel room was rented for Klein while worked on this project. His view, fresh with eyes of a foreigner, retains the intimacy and inside knowledge of a true New Yorker. A visual journey preceding his time, the images are grainy, out of focus, high in contrast. He wanted to break rules and do it his own way, and this brittle attitude is mirrored in his work. William Klein worked eight months on this project. The promised portfolio was never published. After unsuccessfully looking for a publisher in the US, Klein took the pictures to Paris. Klein's blurry, almost uncomfortable, to look at book was published by éditions du Seuil."
