After graduating from United States Army Photography School in 1954, Bill Perlmutter travelled through Europe working as a photographer for the US Army newspapers and was based in West Germany. It is from this that he created Europe in the Fifties: Through a Soldier's Lens, a splendid compilation of post-war scenes. Perlmutter has continued to travel throughout the world as a freelance photographer, and his photographs are included in such significant permanent collections the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art; The Museum of the City of New York; and the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
