Weegee's New York: Photographs 1935-1960

Weegee's New York: Photographs 1935–1960 is a career-spanning retrospective of the New York press photographer's work, assembled by the Munich art publisher Schirmer/Mosel with an introduction by the curator and critic John Coplans.

The book gathers 335 photographs accompanied by an autobiographical text from Weegee (Arthur Fellig) himself. It moves well beyond the murder scenes and fires of his 1945 debut Naked City, taking in Coney Island crowds, Bowery derelicts, Lower East Side tenement life, movie premieres and the infrared and trick-lens celebrity portraits he made in later years. It first appeared in Munich in 1982 as 335 Photographien 1935–1960. This English-language edition followed two years later, co-published with Grove Press in New York.

Fellig worked the New York crime beat through the 1930s and 40s with a police-band radio wired into his car. He earned the nickname Weegee for his habit of reaching a scene before the police. His prints entered the Museum of Modern Art's collection starting in 1943. This volume, alongside Naked City, remains one of the two standard references for his work.
