Joel Meyerowitz, born 1938 in New York, is, along with William Eggleston and Stephan Shore, one of the most important representatives of the American New Color Photography of the 1960s and 70s.

The images of street scenes, in the U.S. metropoles especially, that he fleetingly captured with his 35mm camera, made him the forerunner of street photography, and his works to icons of contemporary photography.

Exclusively for his retrospective exhibit at the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf, Meyerowitz selected three of his major photographs as an Edition of 50 each + 3 a.p.
