This comprehensive monograph examines the visceral work of Arthur Fellig, better known as Weegee, whose stark black-and-white images defined the visual language of mid-century New York City crime and tabloid journalism. Through a curated selection of his most iconic photographs, the volume explores the intersection of voyeurism, urban grit, and the relentless pursuit of the sensational that characterized his career.
