A PORTFOLIO OF THIRTY-SIX PHOTOGRAPHS

Exclusively represented by STUDIO 54: 1977-1981 A PORTFOLIO OF THIRTY- SIX PHOTOGRAPHS

Allan Tannenbaum served as the Chief Photographer and Photo Editor of the SoHo Weekly News from its founding in 1973 until the iconic NYC paper folded in 1982. His comprehensive photographic coverage of the art, music, fashion, entertainment, political and nightlife scenes in New York City during those years is without equal. Tannenbaum’s photographs have been published in numerous monographs and book collections, most recently Grit & Glamour: The Street Style, High Fashion and Legendary Music of the 1970s (Insight Editions, 2016) and have been exhibited in galleries and museums all over the world.

Tannenbaum was invited to the April 26th, 1977 opening of Studio 54 and was a fixture at the club from then on, camera in hand, documenting the merry-go-round of sex, drugs and dancing. This portfolio serves as a unique record of Studio 54, its famous and not-so famous denizens and most importantly, its energy.

Studio 54: 1977-1981 is available in a limited edition of thirty (30) portfolios. Each 11x14 inch Archival Pigment print, printed by the photographer in his studio, is hand-numbered, captioned and signed in the margin of the print recto. Each portfolio also contains a frontispiece printed on vellum and a colophon listing the prints’ titles. The portfolio’s prints are packaged in an archival, acid-free storage box which is also signed, titled and numbered by the artist on the front in silver ink.
