9. Larry Clark – Tulsa Series 1970
Tulsa is a collection of black-and-white photographs by Larry Clark, of the life of young people in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Its publication in 1971 “caused a sensation within the photographic community” with scenes of young people having sex, shooting up drugs, and the potential violence of adolescent gun play. The collection was heavily criticised and raised concerns about exploitation, and drawing the viewer into a prurient, voyeuristic relationship with the work.
