Pop 60s

Description

Culled from the archives of Magnum Photos, the world's preeminent photo agency, Pop 60s celebrates the visionaries, icons, and memorable moments of the decade that transformed the fabric of American life. From Andy Warhol, Twiggy, and James Bond to Beatlemania, biker culture, and geodesic domes, the reverberations of the Swinging Sixties are felt in today's art, music, design, and fashion. This phenomenal collection of photographs spans the globe, including images of Tokyo nightlife, Brazilian Carnaval, and art happenings in New York City. Renowned photographers such as Dennis Stock, Eve Arnold, Danny Lyon, Thomas Hoepker, David Hurn, and many others contribute both their best-loved and their seldom seen photographs. From naked spectators at the Isle of Wight Festival to literati at Truman Capote's Black and White Ball, Pop 60s captures the spirit, style, and attitude of an unforgettable era.

Founded by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, George Rodger, and David Seymour, Magnum Photos is a photographic cooperative that has set the standard for documentary photography and photojournalism. Anthony DeCurtis is a contributing editor for Rolling Stone, and the author of In Other Words: Artists Talk About Life and Work. He lives in New York.
