From inside front gatefold: "Open City brings together the work of nineteen artists and photographers, spanning half a century, to chart the history and development of the street photograph. The survey takes as its starting point the raw and edgy photographs produced by artists such as Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand, William Klein, and Lee Friedlander, who were instrumental in the development of radical, new approach to documentary photography."
