This exhibition shows the city of New York from a fresh perspective. Révész captures the essence of the city in an oblique and often surprising way, whether depicting a scene outside the Metropolitan Museum or the towers of the World Trade Center. Jim Mairs, Editor and Vice President at W.W. Norton in New York wrote, “These are some of the most beguiling and intriguing photographs of New York City ever taken. The poetry and charm of these images will speak both to New Yorkers and visitors alike.”
