New York

This addition to the brick series with its approx. 800 pages portrays New York in all its beauty – both styled and raw. The metropolis on the Hudson River is worthy of numerous superlatives, and Allan Tannenbaum, photographer and New Yorker out of conviction, takes us on a picture tour of his city. Emblems such as the Empire state building, Central Park or the Brooklyn Bridge are displayed in masterful photographs as are the most interesting districts of "The Big Apple": from the stylish art and nightclub scene of the "Meatpack" area, through the almost village ambience of Greenwich Village, to the hectic pace of the Financial District. The New York brick offers an up to date illustrated volume, excellently photographed by one who really knows New York. This book by Tannenbaum is just as inspiring as "New York in the 70s".
