Joel Meyerowitz: Sept 29

Joel Meyerowitz
Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks
Artist's Talk and Book Signing
Tuesday, September 29, 6:30 pm
Aperture Gallery, 547 West 27th Street, 4th Floor

This body of work is the result of a unique commission Meyerowitz received from the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation to document, interpret, and celebrate one of the city's greatest legacies: nearly nine thousand acres of parks in the five boroughs. Meyerowitz is the first photographer to document New York City's parks since the 1930s, when they were photographed as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's WPA program. An exhibition of this series will open this fall at the Museum of the City of New York.
