When paparazzo Gene Spatz died in 2003, he left behind a trove of more than 50,000 stunning photos of New York City street life, culture and nightlife in the 1970s and 80s. His two sisters wanted to preserve his remarkable legacy and make it available to the public, but had no idea how or where to start. POBA worked with his sisters to preserve his archive and create permanent galleries where his work could be seen by future generations.
PKPR placed stories on POBA’s work for Spatz in Time, Rolling Stone, New York Magazine, Artsy, and Closer Weekly Magazine and secured a fantastic segment on NPR’s Here and Now.
