The Edge of New York: Waterfront Photographs

October 28, 2009 · Filed Under Galleries 

edgeThe New York harbor waterfront is fascinating for both what it is and what it was.   Pamela Talese beautifully captures this mix of beauty and decay in her current exhibit, “Rust Never Sleeps – Corrosion and Renewal in Maritime/ Industrial New York” which we recently reviewed .   A new exhibit at the  Museum of the City of New York ,  “The Edge of New York: Waterfront Photographs,”   takes a different but complementary approach to looking at the harbor’s edge .   They document the waterfront’s transformation over the last century by pairing historical photos with contemporary images by Diane Cook and Len Jenshel.

The New York Times has a wonderful selection of the photos from the exhibit. Click here to view the portfolio.
