New York calls to mind many things: the Chrysler Building with its innovative design and sunburst pattern, the Empire State building with its amazing views and dominating size, Rockefeller Center seamlessly merging commerce and art. Each of these cherished pieces of New York were created during one of the city’s most stylish and dazzling decades: the 1920s and 30s. New York Deco profiles this magnificent period of creativity in architecture when art deco thrived with its emphasis on machinetooled elegance and sleek lines. Many of the New York City landmarks were born of this age, as well as dozens of lesser-known office buildings and apartment houses.Richard Berenholtz’s extraordinary and voluptuous photographs have offered the best of New York in the large scale New York, New York and Panoramic New York, and now brilliantly highlight the finest examples of NYC’s art deco architecture. A perfect gift, this gem of a book is a window into one of the city’s most divine periods. This new edition is deluxe in every way: it is 25 per cent larger, has a cloth case with foil stamping encased in a cloth slipcase also with foil stamping and a hand-tipped image, and then shrinkwrapped and packaged in a self-mailer; it contains six gatefolds not included in the original edition, bringing the new page count to 184 from 160 pages; and it contains a signed, limited edition print of the Chrysler building by the photographer.
