ABOUT

7 W 84TH STREET–NYC 1972 is a collection of photographs taken by Fabrizio Carbone during his New York stay. Black and white shots – unpublished until now – capturing the vitality of the American way of life, in a both intimate and political perspective: the city and its inhabitants, whose symbols and languages will soon become universal icons.

Fabrizio Carbone is an Italian painter, writer, and wildlife filmmaker. In 1972 he spent a year in New York working as a correspondent for an Italian broadsheet. As a civil and environmental rights activist, he resigned from his job when the paper he wrote for started supporting the Vietnam war.
