Iconic New York

The new edition of Iconic New York by Christopher Bliss features previously unpublished photographs of the famous city, now in a larger format. A true New Yorker, Bliss captures more than just the iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty. He focuses on the hidden corners of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens that reveal the city’s culture, daily life, and vibrant attitude.

Bliss’s work, displayed in galleries and as a permanent exhibit at the Museum of New York City, provides an authentic glimpse into New York’s diverse neighborhoods. For USA lovers and New York fans, this coffee table book is a must-have. It guides readers through the city’s landmarks, introduces its residents, and offers a deep, personal insight into life in the Big Apple.

As a native New Yorker, Christopher Bliss has always been drawn to the many facets of cosmopolitan life. He is particularly inspired by the invigorating lifestyles and dramatic changes that constantly shape the skyline of the world's largest city. Although he has always been involved in photography, Chris began his career as a concert pianist, studying in both Vienna and New York. Since 1988, he has been photographing New York City as part of an ongoing project that aims to capture the city's evolving architecture and culture. His work offers insights that appeal to both casual observers and photography enthusiasts. This expanded edition of Iconic New York is Chris' fifth book about the Big Apple.
