Catalogue Note
"Inspired by the strong American presence at the 1964 Venice Biennale, the Italian photographer Ugo Mulas made three extended visits to New York over the following years. The result is this massive, handsomely designed volume that captures the art world at one of its most volatile and vivid peaks... [The photographer] was ideally suited to infiltrate that scene as a sympathetic and unobtrusive observer...With more than 500 photos reproduced in heavily inked, knockout black-and-white, the book has a marvelous scope. Its arresting cover image — a pair of New York cops confronting a gaggle of bohemians at a party in Andy Warhol's Factory — isn't typical, but it suggests something of the scene's exhilaration and notoriety..."
