About this Item

M : 196 pages - Fellini invited Klein to Rome to work as an assistant on his upcoming movie Le notti di Cabiria (Nights of Cabiria). Shooting was delayed for a few weeks, so Klein took to the streets and pointed his camera at The city and its people. The resulting images, together with a couple of fashion pictures Klein shot for Vogue, became ROME. The book is divided into five chapters: Cittadini di Roma (Citizens of Rome), La Strada (The street), Città eterna (eternal city), Ragazzi (boys), Mondo cattolico (Catholic world). Each chapter is introduced with text and accompanied by small pictorial snippets of ephemera, snapshots and illustrations. The images themselves are pure Klein, demonstrating once again his ability to take seemingly stereotypical subjects and create something new, through his idiosyncratic visual language.
