TULSA

ulsa is the groundbreaking photobook by Larry Clark, originally published in 1971 and widely regarded as one of the most influential photographic works of the twentieth century.

Shot in Clark’s hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the book presents a raw and unfiltered portrayal of youth, addiction, and violence. The images, rendered in stark black and white, document a close-knit circle of friends navigating a landscape marked by drugs, intimacy, and disillusionment.

Rejecting traditional documentary distance, Clark positioned himself within the narrative, creating a body of work that is both personal and confrontational. The result is a visual language defined by immediacy and emotional intensity — one that would go on to influence generations of photographers, filmmakers, and artists.

This early 2000s second printing preserves the structure and impact of the original edition, maintaining its minimalist sequencing and uncompromising tone.

A cornerstone publication in the history of photography and an essential work for any serious collection.
