Made by approximately 90 artists responding to the city as well as professionals on assignment, including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Walker Evans, Lewis Hine, Helen Levitt, Cindy Sherman, Alfred Stieglitz, and Weegee, over 140 works reveal the deeply symbiotic relationship between photography and the ‘city that never sleeps’ – New York.
