Weegee: Society of the Spectacle – a new book illuminates the grit and glamour of a photography icon

© Weegee Archive / International Center of Photography, New York.

Thames & Hudson has just released Weegee: Society of the Spectacle, a comprehensive new book offering the first full evaluation of the legendary photographer’s work. Edited by Clément Chéroux, director of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, the publication accompanies a major exhibition of the same name.

Weegee: Society of the Spectacle delves into the duality of the man born Arthur Fellig's career – from his early days capturing crime scenes on the streets of New York, to his later experiments with Hollywood glamor and distorted celebrity portraits.
