Klein, New York

Klein, William New York. Life is good for you and good in New York Trance witness Reveals: Trance Witness Revels. London, Photography Magazine (1956). 4°. 192 p. with 188 Pictures on plates and Booklet (16 p., „Delay may be serious now free…“). Original cloth binding with color illustrated dust jacket. (Album Petite Planète, Vol. 1).

Auer 365. The Open Book 165 f. Parr/Badger I, 243. Roth, The Book of 801 Books 140 ff. – First edition in England (“Imprimé en Suisse”). The first printing of the first edition was published by Editions du Seul in Paris. – With autograph dedication by W. Klein “To Paul & his sister Bailly / Happy New York, William Klein”. – „By virtue of its preface, written by Jack Kerouac, Robert Frank’s The Americans is usually regarded as the epitome of the Beat photobook. But William Klein’s magnum opus, Life is good for you and good in New York Trance witness Reveals: Trance Witness Revels, a book with Beat mantra for a title, surely has the edge in this regard. This is partly because it was the earlier model, partly because it is less political and more exuberant, and impotantly, because its conception is so complete – photographs, layout, design, topography, ‚found‘ ephemera coalescing into what is in effect one of the first great ‚Pop‘ books. … Klein’s masterpiece reminds us that much great, serious art is often about play, archieved simply by experimenting with the possibilities of the material. Forget trance and witness – the revels are the thing“ (Parr/Badger). – „With no interest from American publishers, Klein went back to Paris and set to work on a graphic design that was as aggressive and idiosyncratic as its photos. „I saw the book as a tabloid gone berserk, gross, over-inked, brutal layout, bull-horn headlines,“ he wrote in its radically revised 1995 edition. „This is what New York deserved and would get.“ Published in France, Italy, and England, but not in America, Life is good for you and good in New York was a sensation“ (A. Roth). – Dust jacket with inconspicuous restored loss at the spine, very good copy.
