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.
