The Guardian of London review’s “Like A Thief’s Dream”

Posted by dektol on April 3, 2014 · Leave a Comment

Sean O’Hagan of the Guardian in London and written a fine piece on “Like A Thief’s Dream”, which of course has been way under anyone’s radar in Amerika. http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2011/jan/11/danny-lyon-thiefs-dream-texas
O’Hagan did this in January of 2011 after a friend handed him the book at a party. Since the book was dumped by the original publishers
(as was the 1968 Bikeriders, the 1970 Destruction of Lower Manhattan, and the 1971 Conversations with the Dead), Bleak Beauty scooped up the copies and still has one for you at $29.00. Get them while you can. http://www.bleakbeauty.com/book%20pages/thiefsdream.html

The Films of Danny Lyon - Vimeo, DVD, and 16mm print rental
After his ground breaking work as a photojournalist in the 1960’s, Danny Lyon turned to films, making a series of non-fiction films in the 1970’s and 1980’s. With the recent recognition of the 2016 de Young/Whitney retrospective, funds were provided to preserve these remarkable 16mm films. High resolution digital scans were made from the original A&B negative rolls under the close supervision of the artist. The DVD covers themselves, first made for VHS tapes, have been recognized for their power and realism, and are on display at the San Francisco Museum of Art show which opened November 3^rd, 2016.
