RICKY POWELL/BILL ADLER/NEMO LIBRIZZI – ricky powell (Papier)

Gebunden, 128 Seiten, Sprache: Englisch. Capturing the fleeting intersection of the birth of hip-hop, graffiti, pop art, fashion and underground culture The Individualist reveals the world through the lens of one of New York City's most prolific street photographers, Ricky Powell. Featuring dozens of never-before-seen photographs, The Individualist showcases intimate portraits of the Beastie Boys, RUN DMC, LL Cool J, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and hundreds more, all alongside everyday people. In the words of Powell's friend and colleague Bill Adler: "Consider the astonishing range and mix of people captured by Ricky: musicians, actors, artists, comedians, athletes and homeless folks. Boldface names and everyday people. Bike messengers and dogs. And, not infrequently, Mr. Ricky Powell himself, well before the age of the selfie. His portfolio embraces humans of every race, gender and age, all of them drawn to New York, New York because it has always been - and remains - the world capital of individualism; a city of maximum freedom and opportunity, equal parts glamour and grit. *Ginko
