New York. Portrait of a City, Hardback Book

New York. Portrait of a City Hardback

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

Trace the epic story of New York through atmospheric photographs, from the mid-19th century to the present day.

This remarkable collection, now available in a Pocket edition, pays tribute to the extraordinary architecture, civic, social, and photographic heritage of the Big Apple. From the Brooklyn Bridge to the immigrants arriving at Ellis Island; from the slums of the Lower East Side to the magnificent Art Deco skyscrapers, the city is laid out block by block, in all its chaos, complexity, energy, diversity, and style.

Featured photographers include such feted talents as Berenice Abbott, Weegee, Margaret Bourke-White, William Claxton, Ralph Gibson, Steve Schapiro, Nan Goldin, and Ryan McGinley.

The collection is complemented by an appendix showcasing books, movies, and records inspired by the city that never sleeps.
