Horst Hamann, New York

Horst Hamann once again pays homage to his adopted city in this collection of photographs that capture not only New York's towering magnificence, but also its breadth and promise. In beautifully-composed panoramas, portraits and streetscapes that are at once astonishing and intimate, Hamann shows us New York through the eyes of a visitor, friend and adversary. We see the city's stark angles and gentle shadows; its majestic forests of pillars and skyscrapers; its graceful curves, arches, and lines; the welcoming embrace of its interior spaces and its alienating walls of steel and concrete. His photographs offer an unparalleled experience, allowing us to see, as if for the first time, a city with a heart and soul all of its own.
