About

Larry Clark in known for both his raw and contentious photographs and his controversial films focusing on teen sexuality, violence, and drug use. This is the first comprehensive study of Larry Clark's work and tells his life story through a mixture of pictures and text. The book highlights the rawness, vulnerability, and uncertainty of adolescence, a key strain that runs throughout his work. Included are a series of unpublished black and white photographs taken from the time of the Tulsa Series, his collages and his writings while in rehabilitation.
