A new FIFTY ONE PUBLICATION with photographs of 1960s New York by Belgian artist, Jan Yoors. My father Jan Yoors passed away forty-five years ago, a month after I had turned nine.

In filmed interviews he comes across as calm, soft-spoken yet unflappable, confident in his chosen path. A man comfortable in his own skin, enjoying exploring the world and embracing all its diversity. Upon this occasion, of the centennial of Jan’s birth, we have the opportunity of this book to dig deeper into our archives, revisiting these contact sheets and presenting images for their first time. Jan’s photography is a window into this time, post-war and just before the upheavals of the late 1960s.
