New York in the 70s

This book is a collection of fascinating photographs taken by Allan Tannenbaum, the chief photographer of the SoHo Weekly News, documenting an exciting era in New York City the 1970s. The city was bursting with creative activity and things were happening all over. The Arab Oil Embargo was affecting the economy, and the Vietnam War was eroding respect for government. Pop art gave way to performance art, rock n roll succumbed to disco music, sex was accepted and even glorified. New York in the 70s paints a complete and unadorned portrait of this very special era.
