Madonna NYC 83 is a celebration of 1980s New York, personified in the sensitivity and daring of the Queen of Pop. As this book clarifies, from the very outset, Madonna expressed her determination to define her own look that was to achieve a space in the public imagination and a major role in popular culture. Following her many incarnations, we here revisit the early years of her career. Photographer Richard Corman met Madonna in 1983 and built up a vast collection of images that constitute a multifaceted portrait of the young Madonna and of New York that remains inspiring and meaningful. Madonna NYC 83 is not only a tribute to the diva and the 1980s but also a blend of exuberance, humour, fashion, sensuality, and performance.
