Items related to New York in the 70s
This book is a collection of fascinating photographs taken by Allan Tannenbaum, the chief photographer of the SoHo Weekly News, documenting an exciting era in New York City – the 1970s. The city was bursting with creative activity and things were happening all over. The Arab Oil Embargo was affecting the economy, and the Vietnam War was eroding respect for government. Pop art gave way to performance art, rock ‘n’ roll succumbed to disco music, sex was accepted and even glorified. New York in the 70s paints a complete and unadorned portrait of this very special era.

About the Author:
Allan Tannenbaum discovered photography in the 1960s. His dream career as a photojournalist became reality when he joined the SoHo Weekly News, a downtown New York City newspaper, in 1973. For several years he covered the city, exploring its every facet - from the underground to the high society - and documenting its political, social and cultural evolution. His photographs, taken during the turbulent 1970s and early 1980s, serve as a lasting record of that era's resolution of ideas, trends, and movements that had begun in the 1960s. SoHo Weekly News folded in 1982, and Tannenbaum went on to become an award-winning photojournalist, with work published in such major international magazines such as Time, Life, Newsweek, Paris Match and Stern.
Review:
Tannenbaum's photographs of the 1970s are as wildly entertaining and energetic as that wonderful decade itself. They form an important visual history of a moment when American culture changed forever. -- David Schonauer, Editor-in Chief American Photo

Allan Tannenbaum porträtiert eines der spannendsten Jahrzehnte in einer der aufregendsten Metropolen der Welt: die 70er Jahre in New York. Dem Starfotografen des SoHo Weekly News Magazins gelingt es, die Aufbruchstimmung und Umwälzungen im N.Y. dieser Zeit hautnah festzuhalten: In der Kunstszene wird die Popkunst von der Performance Art abgelöst; in der Musik unterliegt der Rock n Roll der Diskomusik; Sexualität und Politik werden zu Straßenthemen", und nicht zuletzt feiert die prominente Partyszene in legendären Hotspots wie z.B. dem Studio 54. Tannenbaum schafft mit seiner facettenreichen Perspektive eine herausragende Bilddokumentation. ISBN: 9783899850529 Wir senden umgehend mit beiliegender MwSt.Rechnung.
