Allen Ginsberg Fotografier 1947-87, a selection curated by Hanne Shapiro in consultation with the photographer, (and published, in 1987, on the occasion of Allen’s show at AROS (the Aarhus Art Museum) by the small Danish publishers, Klim – & long out of print – (it was the very first, of Allen’s photography books) – has been, recently, happily revived and reprinted.
A facsimile edition of the book, a collaboration between the three publishing houses Roulette Russe, Forlaget Olga and Forlaget Bangsbohave/Galleri Tom Christoffersen, appeared alongside an exhibition of Allen’s photos at the Tom Christoffersen Gallery in Copenhagen this past June. Aside from 46 annotated images, the book contains three illuminating essays on Allen by Danish poet and Beat aficionado, Peter Laugesen.
