A YOUNG MAN IN CURLERS AT HOME 1966
WEST 20TH STREET, NEW YORK CITY
A close-up shows the man’s pock-marked face with plucked eyebrows, and his hand
with long fingernails holds a cigarette. Early reactions to the photograph were strong;
for example, someone spat on it in 1967 at the Museum of Modern Art.
