Elliott Erwitt’s New York

A memorable tribute to New York, captured through the eyes of one of the world’s great street photographers. Elliott Erwitt’s New York presents a monochromatic journey through a metropolis that his camera has followed since he first arrived in the United States. This revised edition collects compelling black-and-white photographs from across his career, including 16 pages of previously unreleased images from the 1950s and 1960s, inviting readers to step into a city that feels both timeless and intimate. The book reflects the soul of New York, where celebrities share the frame with everyday New Yorkers, and where ordinary moments become part of contemporary history with Erwitt’s signature irony and warmth.

Born in Paris, Erwitt emigrated to the USA in 1939 and settled in New York in 1948. Over the decades, his camera has been a constant companion on the streets of the megacity, yielding images that are vivid, authentic and infused with gentle wit. The collection stands as a historical record and a timeless meditation on urban life, offering new discoveries for longtime fans and first-time readers alike. With its bilingual text and carefully designed presentation, the book is a distinguished addition to any home library dedicated to photography and the city that never sleeps.
