"Sylvia Plachy, like Diane Arbus, has spent much of her career working on so-called commercial assignments for various publications around the world. And as Arbus, Sylvia always manages to transcend the quotidian and bring home photographs that border on the surreal in their juxtapositions; photographs that are perhaps best described as angelic in their feel - full of empathy for humanity, like Daniel in Wings of Desire... Well-known to readers of the Village Voice, Unguided Tour is the first time that Sylvia's photographs have been presented in book form to their full range and cumulative power. The book shows Sylvia to be the true heir of her friend, mentor, and compatriot, Andre Kertész. Sylvia extends the great master's tradition of poetic street photography to a level of intimacy and humor, suffused with wisdom, rarely achieved in any art form..." Ref LPB0504
