  • "Cohen’s first New York show in 10 years is a timely reminder that his early-’70s photos, with their jarring close-ups and strobe-struck chill, set the stage for much of the street work that followed."

    — Vince Alettti, The Village Voice, Sept. 4, 2001

  • "Cohen’s expanded vision leaves us with the remnants of our desire for coherence within a given body of work, even one which has already been perceived as 'bizarre.' And it presents us with certain questions about what we expect a photograph to mean and what we perceive as content."

    — Carol Squiers, Artforum, March 1978

  • "Each picture is an improvised steal; even the posed shots reveal the unexpected."

    — Leah Ollman, Los Angeles Times (2009)

  • “Grim Street…has become a cult classic among street photographers.”

    — James Estrin, The New York Times (2012)
