George Forss (1941-2021) was selling his photos on the streets of New York City in the seventies before renowned photojournalist David Douglas Duncan “discovered” him in 1980. Duncan produced a book of Forss’ photographs, New York/New York: Masterworks of a Street Peddler, in 1984 which led to Forss being represented by Park Slope Gallery and a one-man exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum.

Condition: Fine condition.
