New York City
Just like I pictured it
The American photographer Abe Frajndlich has close connections with New York. He describes the city as his muse and repeatedly records it and its people in haunting photographs. This volume shows selected, highly personal images which are very different from the ubiquitous postcards and poster views.

description
Abe Frajndlich (*1946, Frankfurt am Main) is known internationally for his portraits of famous people such as Jack Lemmon and Stephen
Hawking. Since moving to New York in 1984 the city itself has been one of his principal subjects. He is fascinated by its radiance and watches spellbound how it changes and reinvents itself on a daily basis. The result is a multi-faceted picture: the black-and-white photographs are sometimes perceptive, sometimes thoughtful, and sometimes witty or quirky – but they are always a declaration of love to New York.

press commentaries
Im Kern bleibt sich die Stadt New York treu, und zu dem dringt Abe Frajndlich mit seinen Aufnahmen vor.
