" In late 1966 Danny Lyon returned to New York City having just finishedThe Bikeriders. He was twenty-five. Living in a loft on the corner of Beekman and William Streets in Downtown Manhattan Lyon saw that half the buildings on Beekman Street were boarded up about to be demolished. That year an incredible sixty acres of mostly nineteenth-century buildings were slated for demolition all below Canal Street. The seven-acre site where the Twin Towers would eventually stand was being cleared a new ramp added to the Brooklyn Bridge Pace University expanded and the Washington Market was being moved to the Bronx. Whole sections of Lower Manhattan were being turned into rubble. Lyon thought of the titleThe Destruction of Lower Manhattanfirst and then made a record of each building before it was demolished. The book was released by Macmillan Publishers in 1969 and remaindered a few years later; the copies sold for one dollar each. It has been a collector's item ever since. Thirty-eight years after these photographs were made many of them are the only record that survives of entire blocks that once lined Fulton Street and West Street along the Hudson. Because of the disaster that would strike the city a generation later New Yorkers have taken on a renewed and fervent interest in the architecture of their city. This work is a major contribution to that new world. For Lyon these buildings in their last days standing were the embodiment of a beauty and pathos that people walking by in the street seldom noticed at the time. Those feelings were preserved in the photographs that today survive exactly as the young author intended as a memory and a record of what was." Powerhouse Books hardcover books

"Lyon's pictures crackle with involvement and engagement but they also convey anxiety and an impulse to understand and to exorcize. Humanity is not just the subject but the real substance or his art. For the most part he photographs the estranged and dispossessed the outcast and the outlaw those who have escaped or have refused assimilation into the great melting pot of the middle class." -- DJ.

"Conversations with the Dead" reflects fourteen months he spent looking and listening inside six Texas penitentiaries. Free to enter the prisons at any time of day or night Lyon moved among the prisoners as they functioned in groups and as they existed in isolation. He photographed men in their cells in the fields working eating daydreaming -- passing so much time. Befriending them he records the personal testimonies of their lives and the official documents which condemn them to living death. -- rear cove.

"Knave of Hearts is a visual memoir in which Danny Lyon recounts his adventures as a photographer. It is illustrated with his color photo-montages and unpublished pictures from his three classic photodocumentary works The Bikeriders Conversations with the Dead and The Destruction of Lower Manhattan. Most of the photographic plates are color reproductions of Lyon's photo-montages hand-made one of a kind works which were years in the making. All are published here for the first time. The autobiographical text tells his family's history beginning with the 1905 revolution in Russia and covers the convolutions and unrest of 1960's America and the social radicalism of New Mexico in the 1970's both of which he saw close up and first hand. Lyon's unlikely heroes include Hugh Edwards perhaps the most influential curator of photography of his time James Ray Renton convicted cop killer and lifer Muhammad Ali who Lyon meets in Miami and Willie Jaramillo the star-crossed subject of a number of Lyon's films. In words and photographs Lyon memorializes the friends family and adventures of his life."--Jacket. Twin Palms Publishers hardcover books
