Andrew Savulich photographed the city for the Daily News since the 1980
What at first seems like objective commentary soon reveals a dry ironic tone, at times bordering on black humor.. Social and cultural transition is often hard to gauge. Andrew Savulich's (born 1959) subject is this perpetually changing metropolis, and his images are a unique mix of spot news and street photography, capturing crime scenes as well as everyday life. The startling immediacy of the moment prevails in his black-and-white images on which he provides handwritten captions. New York in the 1980s
Andrew Savulich's first photography book paints a unique portrait of the city's streets from 1980 to 1995. They're deadpan and hilarious, leaving just enough unsaid to send your eye right back to the photos. (Ellie Schroeder Observer)When he makes prints for himself rather than for the paper, Savulich adds an extra dimension in the form of neatly lettered captions. both a tribute to tabloid photography in its heyday and the wildness of 1980s New York City.
