Synopses & Reviews
In 1968, a small and unassuming book of photographs featuring America's bikers was published. Little note was taken of its release, and it rather quietly disappeared. Today The Bikeriders is recognized as a seminal work of documentary photography by one of a new generation of photographers. In it an iconographic landscape of violence, freedom, drugs and sex unfolded before Danny Lyon's lens. The text includes an introduction by the Artist and some gritty first-person accounts from the biker's. This is a reissue of Danny Lyon's long-out-of-print and much-sought-after first book, treasured both as a cult classic and a standard of photojournalism.
