Joel Meyerowitz: Legacy
I just came across a new body of work from Joel Meyerowitz that will be published by Aperture this fall. Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks contains 250 images from New York City’s parks and wild spaces, and from what little I’ve seen, it looks pretty spectacular. The subject of wilderness contained within urban areas is something I have been fascinated by for a long time, and I’m sure I’ll see a lot of familiar places. The book also contains information about the parks such as maps and historical information.
There is no specific release date mentioned, but it would seem to be sometime in the next month or two to accompany the show at the Museum of the City of New York, which opens October 9. The book looks great, but the box set, which includes an additional book and a signed inkjet print, is at the top of my wishlist.
