Somewhere Below 14th & East: The Lost Photography of Karen O’Sullivan is a compelling photobook that delves into the vibrant underground scenes of early 1980s New York City. Photographer Karen O’Sullivan, a native New Yorker, ventured from Manhattan's Upper West Side to the then-desolate Lower East Side, capturing the burgeoning Hardcore Punk and Hip Hop movements.
This 187-page hardcover volume compiles over 150 images, featuring artists such as The Clash, Run DMC, Iggy Pop, Beastie Boys, Minor Threat, UTFO, The Misfits, and Whodini. O'Sullivan's photographs offer an unfiltered glimpse into a pivotal era where boundless creativity intersected with urban grit, documenting a time when Uptown met Downtown, and outer borough kids invaded destitute neighborhoods.
In excellent condition, this book is an essential addition for collectors, music historians, and enthusiasts of New York City's cultural history, providing a rare visual narrative of one of the most influential periods in the city's artistic evolution.
