Eli Reed Book and Exhibition 

April 29, 2015 
by Eli Reed 
"Eli Reed: A Long Walk Home" presents the first career retrospective of Reed’s work. Consisting of over 250 images that span the full range of his subjects and his evolution as a photographer, the photographs are a visual summation of the human condition. They include examples of Reed’s early work; a broad selection of images of people from New York to California that constitutes a brilliant collective portrait of the social, cultural, and economic experiences of Americans in our time; images of life and conflict in Africa, the Middle East, Haiti, Central America, England, Spain, South America, and China; portraits of women and Hollywood actors; and self-portraits. Reed’s artist statement and an introduction by Paul Theroux, whom Reed met while working in Africa, complete the volume.
An accompanying exhibition at the <a href='http://us.leica-camera.com/World-of-Leica/Leica-Galleries/Leica-Gallery-New-York/News-Program/2015-04-22-Eli-Reed' target='_blank'>Leica Gallery</a> (New York) will be up from April 24th to June 20th.
