William Klein: Yes

The last book completed by William Klein in his lifetime - a historical retrospective spanning Klein's legacy of creativity across photography, film, painting, book design, graphic design, and beyond. Photographer. Filmmaker. Artist. Designer. Mastering one of those disciplines would be a lifetime achievement for any creative individual, yet William Klein's career was celebrated in each of them over the past eight decades. Klein was one of the great image-makers of the twentieth century and one whose work remains an enduring creative influence on the work of contemporary artists, photographers, and filmmakers. Featuring over 250 images, this career retrospective explores the late William Klein's entire creative and artistic arc. Directed by Klein himself, from content selection to book design, this large-format publication looks back on his uncompromising creative life, showcasing Klein’s prolific and relentlessly innovative contribution to the worlds of photography, art, design and film. Published in association with a major retrospective at the International Centre of Photography, this book is a comprehensive account of his career. While best known as a photographer who broke all rules and conventions, William Klein: S focuses on the full range of Klein’s work, from his abstract paintings to his striking, authentic street photography and photobooks and his dynamic, satirical take on film. With a flowing chronological text by David Campany, this book will be an introduction to William Klein for a new generation and a source of fresh insights for those who already know who William Klein was: a true original.
