The Mythic City

Between November 1, 2005 and March 30, 2006, the Museum of the City of New York presents the masterful work of Samuel H. Gottscho. This artist sublimated New York through a series of black and white photographs, revealing the power and elegance of the metropolis. His iconic images capture the splendor of skyscrapers and emblematic bridges, as well as the sophistication of modern interiors. Gottscho doesn’t simply document; he creates an timeless visual portrait, transforming architecture into a urban legend. It is an exceptional opportunity to appreciate the city through the keen eye of a master, whose vision continues to shape our perception of New York identity.
