Description
This gelatin-silver print from Danny Lyon's photographic journey through the Americas, is accompanied by a signed and slipcased copy of Pictures from the New World, Danny Lyon's unusual autobiography. Pictures is perhaps a pictorial equivalent to Walt Whitman's compendium of his roaming through a grand but divided America of a previous century, or to Jack Kerouac's record of his impassioned journey on the road of a previous generation.

Lyon’s work has been frequently exhibited and collected; he is the recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship and National Endowment for the Arts grants in both film and photography.
