Willy Spiller Subway New York

Cologne. Stemmle. 1986. First Edition. 4to, 140pp. Printed wraps. Numerous Colour plates. Text in German.

First and only edition, which appeared in the same year as Bruce Davidson's Subway. Incredible document of New York's subway system and the people, graff, commuters, police and oddballs who populate it shot between 1977 and 1984. Gritty portrait of a retrospectively mythologised part of New York Life.
