Helen Levitt's book, "Helen Levitt," complements a retrospective exhibition at Sprengel Museum Hannover, showcasing her iconic street photography and previously unseen color work. Known as a visual poet laureate of New York City, Levitt captures candid moments of urban life, reflecting her alertness and artistic vision. Her magnum opus, "Crosstown," along with subsequent volumes "Here and There" and "Slide Show," has sold out, earning acclaim. Her work spans seven decades, primarily in New York City and also in Mexico City, making her a celebrated figure in photography. In 2008, she received the SPECTRUM International Prize for Photography.
