Then walk with him in his twenties as he gains inner strength, falls in love and marries, becomes a Christian and a deacon with healing powers. Stand tall with him when, now a giant in faith, he finally faces the greatest challenge of any human being: Death by his own choosing. .

Rare color portraits of the downtown royalty of 1970s New York, from Patti Smith and John Giorno to Hannah Wilke and William Burroughs Photographer Stephen Aiken (born 1948) does more than simply add color to the established record of New York City in the 1970s. (Although he does literally do that: his 35mm photos are some of the few of the ’70s downtown milieu not in black and white.) His photos also hugely enrich the history of Lower Manhattan’s cultural explosion during this time. Aiken’s photos of the downtown scene include intimate portraits of writers Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and John Giorno; the artists Joseph Beuys and Hannah Wilke; and the musicians Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and John Cale. These previously unpublished shots are paired with Aiken's street photography. The book includes a beautifully written foreword by the artist and critic Walter Robinson (cofounder of the seminal ’70s art journal Art-Rite) and an introduction by New York Times contributing arts writer Brett Sokol.
New documentation of Joseph Beuys’ controversial performance piece May 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of Joseph Beuys’ infamous piece of performance art staged in New York City: I Like America and America Likes Me. The premise—a man and a wild coyote locked together inside a room—helped build a cult following for Beuys that has made him alternately revered and reviled throughout the contemporary art world. Stephen Aiken’s (born 1948) photographs of this May 1974 "action" by Beuys—recently unearthed and previously unpublished—offer a fresh look at this seminal art happening. These striking images are supplemented with a set of previously unseen color photos taken by Aiken of Beuys at Greenwich Village’s New School in January 1974: verbally sparring onstage with fellow artist Hannah Wilke and jousting with a raucous audience that threatened to turn his lecture into a brawl.
Attorney Billy Halleck seriously enjoys living his life of upper-class excess. He's got it all; an expensive home in Connecticut, a loving family... and fifty extra pounds that his doctor repeatedly warns will be the death of him. Then, in a moment of carelessness, Halleck commits vehicular manslaughter when he strikes a jaywalking old woman crossing the street. But Halleck has some powerful local connections, and gets off with a slap on the wrist...much to the fury of the woman's mysterious and ancient father, who exacts revenge with a single uttered word... Thinner. Now a terrified Halleck finds the weight once so difficult to shed dropping effortlessly-and rapidly-day by day. Soon there will be nothing left of Billy Halleck...unless he can somehow locate the source of his living nightmare and reverse what's happened to him before he wastes away... Two terrifying versions of the original screenplay adapted by horror legend Tom Holland (Fright Night/Child's Play) and horror author legend Michael McDowell, based on the novel by Stephen King (as Richard Bachman).
