Richard has a unique eye for the still astonishing diversity of New Yorkers, natives or transplants. A transplant himself, there's no denying the power of Richard's personal vision of the city he has made his home. His evident talent and the works' singularity speak for themselves.
- Julia Gruen, Executive Director, Keith Haring Foundation, New York, NY Many cities can boast beautifully designed buildings, but New York's architecture is different. This photo book of New York tells the city's story of impressive buildings and streets filled with inspiring people. New York is a city that has had to earn its place in the world; a city that people, from various backgrounds, are proud to call home. Unified by its diversity, New York inspires belief in the idea that individual happiness is self-made, as its streets and buildings seem to suggest that everyone can strive to be the best version of themselves. The Big Apple is a peaceful patchwork of ethnicities that contains many lessons for Europe as it struggles to deal with changing demographics.
