Go Window-Shopping Through the Iron Curtain

At the twilight of the Soviet Era, from 1986-1990, David Hlynsky, a photographer from the American Midwest, made some 8000 color exposures with his Hasselblad of shop windows and storefronts throughout the Eastern Bloc capitals. A selection of those are being published for the first time in his new book Window-Shopping Through the Iron Curtain (out this month from Thames & Hudson), some 25 years later amidst revived Russian aggression in Europe, and renewed interest in the East-West divide.
