Fine Print: Brooklyn Gang, Coney Island, New York, USA, 1959 Paper size:11 x 14 in (28 x 36 cm) Let the Sun Beheaded BeThey were young, poor and reckless but the very embodiment of 1950s cool. Taken in the hot New York summer of 1959, Bruce Davidsons classic essay Brooklyn Gang, New York, infiltrates a close knit group of teenagers as they sunbathed, smoked and bloodied each other up. Connecting with a social worker to make initial contact with the gang who called themselves The Jokers, Davidson became a daily observer and photographer of this alienated youth culture.
