New York City has experienced extreme flux over the last ten years, and countless photographers from all over the world have been capturing all its changes and movements in cityscapes, portraits, vignettes, and process-oriented photography. New York reflects the avant-garde spirit of New York City, containing mostly previously unpublished work by well-known and emerging contemporary artists. New York: A Photographer's City will contain more than 350 images from all five New York City boroughs by more than 100 artists, including Mark Seliger, Jack Pierson, Atta Kim, Lee Friedlander, Joel Myerowitz, Richard Prince, Peter Lindbergh, Ed Burtynski, Idris Khan, James Casebere, Michael Eastman, among many others. The end result is a book of photographs that not only document the physical and architectural landscape but reflect and explore an off-centered - and therefore a less-seen and more innovative - perspective of how artists view this city right now in the twenty-first century. This book displays the now New York City that we have yet to see in pictures: what might seem to be an alternative city but is actually the crux of how it visually functions in the present day. The book will reveal a post-9/11, visually counterintuitive, and highly subjective conceptual approach to the city as has never before been explored in one work and will appeal to fans of art photography and of New York both.
