Weegee: Easter Sunday in Harlem, 1940

‘To me, pictures are like blintzes:

ya gotta get ’em while they’re hot’ – Weegee.

Peter Fetterman comments: ‘Weegee – real name Arthur Fellig –

is generally known for his gritty, violent urban crime scene work,

rushing to get there before the police arrived.

But there was a real tender side to him, as evidenced by this image.

A moment of joy, community, relief, happiness and hope’

Painters, posers and poodles:

Peter Fetterman’s favourite images – in pictures

A new book brings together 120 photographs from the gallerist’s collection.

Together, they tell the story of 20th century photography
