Andrew Savulich

New York in the 1980s and the first half of the 90s was clearly a different place than it is now: the city was more violent, the street stranger, and Times Square still wonderfully sleazy. A mix of spot news and street photography, this book features black-and-white images that capture crime scenes as well as everyday life. Social and cultural transition is often hard to gauge. New York in the 1980s and the first half of the ’90s was clearly a different place than it is now: the city was more violent, the street stranger, and Times Square still wonderfully sleazy. Andrew Savulich’s subject is this perpetually changing metropolis, and his images are a unique mix of spot news and street photography, capturing crime scenes as well as everyday life. The startling immediacy of the moment prevails in his black-andwhite images on which he provides handwritten captions. What at first seems like objective commentary soon reveals Savulich’s dry ironic tone, at times bordering on black humor.
