New York

Skyscrapers—up close and personal

Reinhardt Wolf (1930-1988) had the unique ability to make every picture essential. He approached each of his subjects, be they buildings, flowers, or people, with the same inimitable precision. Wolf's face-to-face photographs of New York`s skyscrapers perfectly captured the stunning grandeur of the tallest city in the world. With texts by Edward Albee and Sabina Lietzmann and an interview with Andy Warhol, New York—originally published in 1980—is both a nostalgic homage to the awe-inspiring city and a superb photographic document of New York`s most famous assets. Though the last two decades have seen dramatic transformation in the city, especially as a result of the recent tragedy, one thing will never change: New York is immortal. As a tribute to the city and a remembrance of a bygone era, this book is being reprinted in its original, unedited form. It is a testament to the New York we once knew and still love.
