Now her family wants to share her collection with the world.

A drug user squats for a fix in a squalid Manhattan heroin den. A man wearing a Savage Riders biker gang jacket holds a yawning baby. A child straddles a stripped bicycle on a trash-strewn street in Spanish Harlem. Not everything is bleak. There’s a pig roasting on a spit in an abandoned Brooklyn lot. A smiling, bikini-clad bodybuilder flexes next to a Hasidic rabbi on a Queens beach. These images and countless others are crammed into hundreds of boxes left behind by the heralded street photographer Arlene Gottfried, who trained her unflinching lens on New York’s less heralded neighborhoods during the 1970s and 1980s.

But now, it seems, it is being saved. Several photos from Arlene Gottfried's archive. From left: "Activist, Marsha P. Johnson"; "Savage Riders at the Puerto Rican Day Parade, 1980"; "No Wheels, El Barrio, 1978."
