Tom Wolfe

About the Item

Tom Wolfe (b.1931), from Richmond, Virginia, spurned academic life after receiving his Yale doctorate to become a reporter, ultimately at the New York Herald Tribune. He originated New Journalism, a staccato-adjective-laden style that reinvented subordinate clauses when writing a feature for Esquire on custom cars and hot rods. This piece would go on to become the title essay in the collection The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby. Jack Robinson photographed Wolfe for a “Vogue’s Own Boutique” feature published January 15, 1966. Wolfe is described as a “blazingly original dresser” who wore a pure white silk tweed summer suit one day in January “and it seemed to annoy people … to my delight.” Silver gelatin print on Ilford Galerie Baryta paper Edition of 25 Estate signed and stamped 14" x 21" print on 20" x 24" paper We print on Thursdays.
