The enormously successful deluxe New York, New York, updated with new photography and reformatted for an affordable price point. In addition to the classic storied neighborhoods and buildings previously showcased in New York, New York, Richard Berenholtz has photographed several new architectural marvels, like the striking Gehry IAC building, a Chelsea residence building by Jean Nouvel, and the new World Trade Tower, to name only a few. This book wonderfully captures the duality of New York in grand style-that timeless yet ever-changing characteristic that makes the city so captivating-and is the perfect gift for those who love New York.

Richard Berenholtz is a fourth-generation New Yorker, a former architect, and commercial photographer.
This enormous, 12" x 18" book with 220 carefully composed shots and 12 gatefolds should be the New York photo book of the season. Berenholtz (Panoramic New York) does not match 19th-century Paris photographer Eugene Atget's elegant encyclopedism, but his compositions exude the patience and calm needed to get the money shots: the Cloisters, afternoon shadows striping the Metropolitan Museum of Art's solarium, the recently replaced Planetarium, the familiar interior and exterior orbits of the Guggenheim. And given that the book was in preparation a year before September 11, there are monumental pictures of the World Trade Center, captured in more lights and at more angles than many people will conceivably want or need. Yet even the most jaded photo connoisseur will find Berenholtz's pictures of Grand Central Station spectacular, and the Times Square and full skyline panoramas breathtaking. The shots of more anonymous facade details, lesser known parks, subway stations, and bridges other than the Brooklyn feel fresh. The light and the weather play starring roles here, as pains seem to have been taken to eliminate people and cars. Berenholtz used no filters, but coaxes deep and often surprising colors out of the skies and facades. If the lush printing can sometimes feel a little late-'90s glitzy, the whole strikes an excellent balance between garish and grounded, much like New York itself.
