New York

Fülszöveg

Reinhart Wolf (1930-1988) had the unique ability to make every picture essential. He approached each of his subjects, be they buildings, flowers, or people, with the same inimitable precision. Wolfs face-to-face photographs of New York's skyscrapers perfectly captured the stunning grandeur of the tallest city in the world. With texts by Edward Albee and Sabina Lietzmann and an interview with Andy Warhol, New York - originally published in 1980 - is both a nostalgic homage to the awe-inspiring city and a superb photographic document of New York's most famous assets. Though the last two decades have seen dramatic transformation in the city, especially as a result of the recent tragedy, one thing will never change: New York is immortal. As a tribute to the city and a remembrance of a bygone era, this book is being reprinted in its originál, unedited form. It is a testament to the New York we once knew and still love. Note: The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, completed in 1973,... Tovább

Note: The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, completed in 1973, were a fairly recent addition to Manhattan's skyline when this book was first published. The criticisms of the towers herein may seem unduly harsh (as when their presence is described as "an occasion to mourn") but it should be noted that such comments are historically important. Ironically, now it is the loss of these towers that will forever be an occasion to mourn. ISBN 3-8228-0549-1 9783822805497 Vissza
