Kurt BoonE 

Kurt Boone is a familiar figure on the streets of New York, whose life is the subject and inspiration of his work. A book of his pictures of the city’s street and underground performers—Subway Beats: Celebrating New York City Buskers—is a sometimes whimsical, often moving portrait of the city’s yet-undiscovered artists. Examples of his work can be seen at the New York Historical Society, the Brooklyn Historical Society, the Museum Of Modern Art, Aperture Library, Stanford University Library, the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center For Research in Black Culture, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art Library. Exhibits of his work have been mounted in several New York galleries, and he is also an editor of photography books and consultant to their publishers. View more of Boone’s work here.
