In the revised edition of his photo book "New York", world-renowned photographer Thomas Hoepker once again takes us on a journey through New York - beyond glamor and kitsch. In this expanded new edition of his work, Hoepker, who has lived in the vibrant metropolis since 1976, captures the essence of his adopted home. The city as it really is, far removed from the usual clichés, is seen through his characteristic lens: authentic, unembellished and direct. 

The book is not only a tribute to the "Big Apple" and its inhabitants, but also traces Hoepker's artistic journey. The selection of photographs comes from his extensive archive and demonstrates an impressive stylistic diversity. From monochrome to colorful shots, from impressive architectural images to dynamic street scenes, the work offers a deep insight into the life of the city. Particularly noteworthy are the images from September 11, 2001, which Hoepker was one of the few photographers to capture on location and which provide a moving testimony to that time.
