The Taschen coffee-table book "Marvin E. Newman" is the first major monograph of this remarkable street photographer, largely undiscovered outside a prestigious circle of collectors and galleries. Some 170 photographs reveal Newman's flawless technique and humanistic sensibility through vivid New York cityscapes, compelling sports photos and other inventive images from across the U.S.
Following Newman in New York: Portrait of a City, TASCHEN now presents the artist's first monograph featuring some 170 photographs from the late 1940s to early 1980s, previously available in a Collector's Edition. Newman died in 2023 at the age of 95.
From Times Square to Wall Street, from Broadway to Little Italy, Newman's vividly original scenes offer new perspectives on familiar New York landmarks, but above all, a unique sense of city life and of the drama and extremities that make New York close in so many hearts. In addition to New York, Newman applies the same flawless technique and humanistic sensibility to other locations across the United States, including Chicago, Kansas; a vintage 1950s circus; a legalized brothel in Reno, Nevada; Las Vegas; Alaska; and groovy 1960s California; as well as top photos from his sports photography portfolio featuring icons such as Cassius Clay and Pele´.
Newman, represented by the prestigious Howard Greenberg Gallery, is long overdue for a monograph. With an essay by critic and scholar Lyle Rexer, this first chronological retrospective offers recognition of an extraordinary talent, with memorable images that leave their mark on the eye and the soul.
