In the 1950s William Klein revolutionised the canons of photographic representation—and he hasn’t stopped since. Photographer, but also painter, filmmaker, and graphic artist, his prolific oeuvre is characterised by a limitless formal energy and a vital energy that floods the lens. His books, including New York (1956), Rome (1958), Moscow (1964), Tokyo (1964), and Paris (2002), for which he did his own layouts, showcased a new sculptural vision which would have a lasting influence on international publishing.
