{"product_id":"9783869306919","title":"Ken Schles: Invisible City","description":"For a decade, Ken Schles watched the passing of time from his Lower East Side neighborhood. His camera fixed the instances of his observations, and these moments became the foundation of his \"invisible city.\" Friends and architecture come under the scrutiny of his lens and, when sorted and viewed in the pages of this book, a remarkable achievement of personal vision emerges. Twenty-five years later, \u003ci\u003eInvisible City\u003c\/i\u003e still has the ability to transfix the viewer. A penetrating and intimate portrayal of a world few had entrance to--or means of egress from--\u003ci\u003eInvisible City\u003c\/i\u003e stands alongside Brassai's \u003ci\u003eParis de Nuit\u003c\/i\u003e and van der Elsken's \u003ci\u003eLove On The Left Bank\u003c\/i\u003e as one of the twentieth century's great depictions of nocturnal bohemian experience. Documenting his life in New York City's East Village during its heyday in the tumultuous 1980s, Schles captured its look and attitude in delirious and dark honesty. Long out of print, this \"missing link\" in the history of the photographic book is now once again made available. Using scans from the original negatives and Steidl's five-plate technique to bring out nuance and detail never seen before, this new edition transcends the original of this underground cult classic.","brand":"Steidl, Gerhard Druckerei und Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041996488944,"sku":"9783869306919","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783869306919_p0.jpg?v=1763701564","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783869306919","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
