Lost and Found

Bruce Gilden

New York 1978-1984 constitutes the earliest photographs taken by Gilden, American photographer and member of the Magnum Photos.

This historic archive, resurfaced forty years later, portrays a timeless New York, his native city, and reveals a little-known chapter of the artist’s work: images taken without flash and almost exclusively in horizontal layout constitute the opposite of what he has come to be known for years later.

Lost & Found reveals the elements characteristic of Bruce Gilden’s photography: sustained movement and tension, as well as an instinctive and irreverent affection for his subjects – in perfect complicity with his city.
