“Among the most depicted cities in the world, New York has been the epic muse of literally millions of poets, authors, painters, sculptors, architects, engineers, musicians, dancers, designers — and of course, photographers. The latest and arguably most anticipated in its Portrait of a City series, TASCHEN's latest magnificent tome focuses on NYC, presenting its most moving and eclectic representations and icons of the last 200+ years. Tonight's release party features remarks from contributors to the project.”

This book presents the epic story of New York on nearly 600 pages of emotional, atmospheric photographs, from the mid-19th century to the present day. Supplementing this treasure trove of images are over a hundred quotations and references from relevant books, movies, shows and songs. The city's fluctuating fortunes are all represented, from the wild nights of the Jazz Age and the hedonistic disco era, to the grim days of the Depression and the devastation of 9/11 and its aftermath, as its broken-hearted but unbowed citizens picked up the pieces.
