'Big New York' is a visually stunning coffee table book featuring the most iconic photographs

The coffee table book 'Big New York' from publisher TeNeues is a tribute to one of the most exciting cities in the world - and a true treasure trove for all fans of photography and urban history. This extraordinary coffee table book brings together the most remarkable photographs by photographers portraying New York from their own perspective. Their work, which spans several decades, shows a metropolis in transition that is both classic and modern, familiar and undeveloped. Looking through the lens, New York becomes a gathering place for the contrasts that make the city so unique: urban chaos meets quiet corners, dramatic play of light meets endless shadows, and monumental skyscrapers meet intimate street scenes.

One city, many faces - through the eyes of great photographers

Each artist gets their own chapter in this illustrated book, dedicated to them and their unique style. At the beginning of the book, a short text immerses the reader in New York life and outlines the unique character of a city that never sleeps.

The visual language of the photo book ranges from atmospheric black-and-white photographs to atmospheric color photographs that express the complexity of the city. The photographs come from a wide variety of artists and cover a broad spectrum of styles and perspectives: from the iconic street scenes and portraits of famous Thomas Hoepker to the timeless, subtly humorous black-and-white photographs of photography icon Elliott Erwitt, Christophe Jacrot's poetic rain scenes and Alan Schaller's dramatic play with light and shadow. Their works make the reader feel instantly immersed in the pulsating heart of New York and feel the rhythm of this unique city.

Legendary icons: Thomas Hoepker and Elliott Erwitt

Especially impressive in Big New York are the works of the two deceased photographers Thomas Hoepker and Elliott Erwitt. Hoepker, one of Germany's best-known photojournalists, captured New York through his lens in an inimitable way. His images are contemporary documents that flawlessly capture life on the city streets and the people who live there. His photographs tell stories full of character and authenticity that only New York can tell.

Elliott Erwitt's black-and-white photographs are also among the highlights of this illustrated book. Erwitt, known for his subtle humor and sensitive take on everyday situations, captures the charming and human aspects of New York. His photographs are a declaration of love to the city, showing its quirky, funny and unexpected moments - all captured with an incomparably sharp eye.
