TULSA - Larry Clark
When it first appeared in 1971, Larry Clark's groundbreaking book Tulsa immediately sparked controversy across the country. His explicit depictions of sex, violence and drug abuse in Oklahoma youth culture were hailed by critics for exposing the myth that middle America had remained aloof from the social upheavals that rocked the U.S. in the 1960s. The raw, haunting images taken in 1963, 1968 and 1971 document a youth culture gradually submerged in self-destruction - and are as moving and disturbing today as they were when first published. Originally published in a limited paperback edition, then reissued in 1983 in a limited hardcover edition at the author's request, this book is sold for over a thousand dollars by rare book dealers. Now available in hardcover and paperback from Grove Press, this seminal work of photographic art and social history is once again accessible to the general public.
