The must-read book about Studio 54, New York’s most famous nightclub of the 1970s (which was only open for less than three years). The book, which contains sixty-six photographs taken between 1978 and 1980, perfectly captures the crazy, baroque, electric and unique atmosphere of this high place of celebration and the most trendy circles of the time. Papageorge’s gaze focuses above all on kinds of stolen moments where celebrities, strangers, affected postures, drunkenness and vertigo of alcohol like drugs, inhibition and total elegance rub shoulders. A true masterpiece.
