Published by Aperture in 1981, this landmark first edition stands among the most important monographs devoted to William Klein, one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century. Bringing together work from across his groundbreaking career, the volume captures Klein's radical approach to photography—raw, kinetic, confrontational, and unlike anything that had come before.
Rejecting the conventions of documentary photography, Klein embraced blur, grain, extreme contrast, wide-angle distortion, and chance, transforming the visual language of the photobook and redefining street photography for generations to come. From the energy of New York to his iconic fashion imagery, every photograph reflects a practice driven by movement, immediacy, and graphic experimentation.
Designed by William Klein himself and accompanied by a profile by John Heilpern, this beautifully produced Aperture edition remains one of the definitive publications on the artist's work.
An essential reference for collectors of photography, photobooks, fashion, and postwar visual culture.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
The Story
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
