Louis Faurer

This book is the first in 15 years to present the largely overlooked work of Philadelphia‑born, New York‑based photographer Louis Faurer (1916–2001), who depicted the melancholy streets of New York in the 1940s and ’50s, and whom Walter Hopps described as a “master of his medium”. Published on the occasion of the exhibition “Louis Faurer” held at Fondation Henri Cartier‑Bresson, Paris, from September 9 to December 18, 2016.
