Item Description
This gorgeous book by renowned photographer Mitch Epstein will make the perfect addition to any collection: an ideal gift for a New York photography lover. Epstein, whose work you may find in major museum collections including MoMA, the Whitney and others, offers his latest work, New York Arbor a study of New York's trees. This signed hardcover, is an elegant depiction of the natural history of the City.
"Mitch Epstein's new work is a series of photographs of the idiosyncratic trees that inhabit New York City. These pictures underscore the importance of trees to urban life and their complex relationship to their human counterparts. Rooted in New York's sidewalks, parks, and cemeteries, some trees grow wild, some are contortionists adapting to constrictive surroundings, while others are pruned into prize specimens. As urban development closes in on them, surprisingly, New York's trees continue to thrive. From 2011 to 2012, Epstein explored New York's five boroughs in search of remarkable trees, often returning to photograph the same trees through the changing seasons and light. Many of these trees, Epstein learnt, were planted in one context--a farm or nursery, for instance--and had survived to be part of another, a city street or public garden; and most will likely outlive us to find their habitat continue to change. The cumulative effect of these photographs is to invert people's usual view of their city: trees no longer function as background, but instead dominate the human life and architecture around them." - www.mitchepstein.com
