A remarkable new monograph from Tod Papageorge is one of our Staff Pick Holiday Gift Books, 2018!

Featured image is reproduced from Dr. Blankman's New York, Steidl's remarkable new collection of color street photographs made by Tod Papageorge, 1966–67. "It is fifty years since Papageorge caught his own reflection in those windows, and lost it in those streets," David Campany writes. "Is half a century too much hindsight? Can we remember who we were, or trust our photographs to remind us? Yes and no. Dr. Blankman's New York feels like a great, lost book. In a parallel world it might have become a landmark. In some latent world it might still. Why the delay? Many reasons. Some personal, some pragmatic. Papageorge has said that audiences have never meant that much to him. Many of his projects have found their moment long after the photographs were made. We barely got to see them when they were contemporary in the literal sense."
