First published in 1968, The Bikeriders explores firsthand the
stories and characters of the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club. The
journal-size title features original black-and-white photographs
and transcribed interviews made from 1963 to 1967, when Danny Lyon
was a member of the Outlaws gang. Authentic, personal, and
uncompromising, Lyon's depiction of individuals on the outskirts of
society offers a gritty yet humanistic view that subverts the
commercialized image of Americana. Akin to the documentary style of
1960s-era New Journalism, made famous by writers such as Joan
Didion, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe, Lyon's work, like
theirs, demonstrates humanitarian interests, advocacy, and
"saturation reporting." The importance of his work and our interest
in the subject is reinforced by Lyon's immersion in his subject.

since the book was first published. It also offers new, unseen

The Seventh Dog is a new monograph/photobook by American
photographer Danny Lyon. Organised chronologically, this artist's
book tells the story of Danny Lyon's 50-year-career as one of
America's most original and influential documentary photographers.
Groundbreaking as a photobook in itself, Lyon tells this story
starting in the present day and going back in time to the beginning
of his career in the 1960s when he photographed the American civil
rights movement and the Chicago bikeriders. Through text and image
- colour and b&w photographs, original photo collages, letters
and other ephemera (many published here for the first time), and
Lyon's own writings - this is a story of Danny Lyon's personal
journey as a photographer - a story about photojournalism, the move
from film to digital photography, about Lyon's life and quest as a
photographer, and of America.
