Following his Retrospective at Tate Modern last year, the Michael Hoppen Gallery is hosting an exhibition of large editioned works and unique painted contacts by William Klein. A combination of both Klein's reportage and fashion prints, the exhibition is a testament to the daring photographic techniques that secured him fame in both genres.

William Klein is one of the 20th century’s most important photographers and filmmakers. As an artist using photography, Klein set out to re-invent the photographic document. His images, often blurred or out of focus, his high contrast prints, his use of high-grain film and wide angles shocked the established order of the photography world, earning him a reputation as an anti-photographer’s photographer.

Trained as a painter under Fernand Léger he achieved wide spread fame for his fashion images for Vogue and his photo essays of cities. Along with Robert Frank he is cited as one of the forefathers of street photography. He won the Prix Nadar in 1957 and since then has been published and exhibited worldwide.

The Michael Hoppen Gallery was founded in 1992 at 3 Jubilee Place in the heart of Chelsea, London. We house one of Europe's largest collections of photography from the 19th century to the present day and represent many of the world’s leading photographic artists and estates.
