William Klein - Paris + Klein - 2003

Visionary photographer William Klein—renowned for his bold, cinematic eye—returns to the city that shaped much of his artistic spirit, capturing Paris with an immediacy that feels both raw and fiercely alive. This volume is far more than a simple collection of images: it is a vibrant visual conversation between artist and city.
Rather than offering the usual postcard Paris, this book showcases Klein doing what he does best: pushing boundaries, bending conventions, and capturing human intensity with his signature mix of grit, humor, and immediacy. Each page reflects his bold visual grammar—grainy textures, chaotic beauty, and charged, almost cinematic moments that feel pulled from the rhythm of real life. Expertly produced by D.A.P., Paris Klein brings together a powerful selection of images that highlight Klein’s lifelong commitment to experimentation. It is a testament to his artistic audacity and to the raw, restless energy that made him a defining figure in contemporary photography. Beautifully produced by D.A.P., Paris Klein brings together decades of photographic exploration in a large-format edition that feels immersive and tactile.For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this volume stands as a striking tribute to Klein’s uncompromising gaze, an unforgettable journey through a city of Paris seen through one of the most influential lenses of the 20th century. —an essential addition to any serious photography library.
