Night & Day brings together a selection of iconic Kodachrome pictures from David Armstrong’s archive of the late 70’s and early 80’s downtown New York.
The images illuminate an intimate and carefree epoch of innocent-bohemian wilderness -a time just before the tumultuos 80’s.
Dispersed throughout the series are images of a generation of young people who changed culture - including Rene Ricard, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Jean-Michel Basquait, John Waters to mention a few.
Vernacular yet with a undeniable ability to capture and create timeless images, David Armstrong’s Night & Day tells tales of a bygone era.
The book contains 110 images, including a facsimile of an  original poem typed out in 1979 by Rene Ricard.
We also tracked down Rene Ricard to design the cover of the book.
The book also contains a conversation between David Armstrong and Jack Pierson.

Night and Day will be launched in June/July with book signings in New York (Dashwood Books), Paris (Colette) and London (Donlon Books) as well as a exhibition at the Half Gallery New York.
