William Klein: Afrique

Independence parade, Dakar, Senegal, 1963.

June 23 – Sept 17, 2022
41 E 57th St., New York, NY 10022, United States

In 1963, the photographer William Klein went to West Africa on assignment for the Weekly Telegraph and the British men’s magazine Town. He took pictures from Senegal to Niger, some of which were published, but most of which remained as negatives and slides in storage—until now. For the first time, more than 25 of these prints are on display, adding a new facet to Klein’s oeuvre. —Clara Molot
