Media Reviews
No single set of eyes could possibly take in all of the Big Apple. This much is readily apparent upon opening New York: A Photographer's City, a dazzling new book edited by Marla Hamburg Kennedy that compiles images taken by mare than 100 artists, including Andreas Gursky, Ryan McGinley, and Catherine Opie. Together, the 200-plus works brilliantly capture the spirit, both gritty and glamorous, of the five boroughs. Architectural Digest

This lush collection, which includes works by Berenice Abbott and Stephen Wilkes, offers fresh perspective on the 'physical uniqueness' of the city's familiar venues, mostly captured in color... the images do succeed in going beyond the concrete to capture what Elizabeth Sussman describes in her foreword as the image of the city, both permanent and transitory, that 'haunts past and present photography of New York.' New York Times

New York: A Photographer's City, out next month from Rizzoli, is a rare book of photography that is as witty as it is striking: compiling its 250 images, the book's editor, Marla Hamburg Kennedy, surely had all of New York City's idiosyncrasies in mind... and New Yorkers will find the book utterly, piquantly true. Interview

New York: A Photographer's City is a world-class collection, featuring artists from all over the globe, offering views, cityscapes, and vignettes that are fresh and beautifully illustrate the city's 5 ever-changing boroughs. Slamxhype
