• Ruth Orkin is a legend of street photography her atmospheric pictures taken in cities such as Florence
• New York and London still shape the image of these metropolises today
• But Orkin's specialty not only encompassed the urban but also the personal
• This is evident in her unique eye that enabled her street scenes to consistently offer penetrating insights into the time and personality of her subjects
• And it likewise shows in her fantastic portraits of celebrities such as Albert Einstein
• Woody Allen
• And Lauren Bacall
• These inimitable images seemingly combine snapshot and pose to present the star in his or her role and at the same time as an autonomous individual
• Published on the occasion of the photographer's 100th birthday
• This illustrated book celebrates Orkin's life and work with an equally extensive and fascinating overview of this exceptional artist's oeuvre
