Thomas Allen: Pulp Fiction Pop Up

©Thomas Allen

Thomas Allen has created staged photographs (mini film noir stills) using characters sliced from the covers of vintage paperback books. A show of his new work, Epilogue, is on view at Foley Gallery in New York until 10 October 2009, his third show at the gallery in five years. Epilogue refers to Allen's claim that this is the final set of images he will make utilising vintage paperbacks. A book of his earlier work, Uncovered:  Photographs by Thomas Allen  was published by Aperture in 2007.
