In this extraordinary book, Richard Meyer and Anthony Lee tell a gripping tale, filled with historical detail about Weegee's transformation from freelance newspaper photographer to fine artist with the publication of his enormously successful book "Naked City," in 1945."--Cecile Whiting, author of "Pop L.A.: Art and the City in the 1960s" "Lee and Meyer return Weegee to his 'working world' by exploring the multiple contexts of his production-the Photo League, the tabloids, the exhibition galleries, and the book market. The volume adds an important dimension to our understanding of how Weegee straddled the worlds of popular culture, photojournalism, and left politics."--Miles Orvell, author of "American Photography" and "John Vachon's America: Photographs and Letters from the Depression to World War II" (UC Press) "Groundbreaking. Anthony Lee and Richard Meyer delve deeply into a rich archive of media and exhibition history, criticism, and biography to arrive at original interpretations of the most enigmatic photographer in modern visual and print culture."--Jordana Mendelson, author of "Documenting Spain: Artists, Exhibition Culture, and the Modern Nation, 1929-1939"
