SEIS DEL SUR: LIMITED EDITION BOX SET

The photographs depict the South Bronx in the 1970s, 80s and 90s as captured by those who lived through the epic devastation. This ground-breaking collection, a combination of street photography, por-traiture, crime scene photos, and snapshots from the birth of hip hop, has been “thirty years in the making,” according to David Gonzalez.

These photos cover a period early in the photographers’ creative careers. Ángel Franco became a Pulitzer Prize-winning staff photographer for The New York Times. Gonzalez pursued a career as a journalist, also land-ing at The New York Times, where he has been a columnist, foreign corre-spondent and now co-editor of the Lens blog. Ricky Flores widely exhibits one of the deepest photographic archives of the South Bronx in the 1980s. Pagán is a filmmaker and founder of Latin Horror, a popular website dedicated to the fans of the genre. Reyes pursued a career in TV news and created an extensive archive of writing and photography on Latin music. Conzo, known for photographing the birth of hip hop, exhibits this work widely and is author of Born in the Bronx: A Visual Record of the Early Days of Hip Hop (Rizzoli, 2008).

Marked by a remarkable energy and exuberance, Seis del Sur is unique in providing an insider’s view of the Bronx by six photographers who are regarded as among the most important and influential chroniclers of 20th century Latino culture. This sale represents a rare opportuni-ty to collect a unique series of images from a crucial period in American urban history.
