New York: Horst Hamann

In just a few short years, Horst Hamann has risen to the forefront of artists whose unique vision of New York is as monumental and impressive as the city itself.

Now Hamann once again pays homage to his adopted city in this collection of new photographs that capture not only New York’s towering magnificence, but also its breadth and promise. In beautifully composed panoramas, portraits and streetscapes, Hamann shows us New York through the eyes of a lover, 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. For the reader, his photographs allow us to see, as if for the first time, a city with a heart and soul all its own.
