Both Sides of Sunset: Photographing Los Angeles

Ellen von Unwerth's early 90s photograph, "Sunset Boulevard," is reproduced from Both Sides of Sunset, Metropolis Books' critically acclaimed collective portrait of the city of Los Angeles, featured this week in the Los Angeles Times. Presenting work by more than 125 photographers, Both Sides of Sunset captures "a postwar Los Angeles of extremes and dualities - sunshine and noir, natural beauty and urban grit, tract homes and iconic midcentury architecture, valleys and hillsides," according to Jane Brown and Marla Hamburg Kennedy, the book's editors (and progenitors of the 2005 classic, Looking at Los Angeles, now long out-of-print). Join us in celebrating this surprising new historical survey with an exhibition and signing this Thursday, June 18 at Hamburg Kennedy gallery in New York.
