Description

"Gotham Restored: The Preservation of Monumental New York gathers more than 150 of James Rudnick's photographs - from close studies of dedicated conservators at work to vertigo-inducing panoramas taken high in ceilings or atop towers - into a unique exploration of the great architecture of New York. The comprehensive portfolios not only present compelling evidence of the vital importance of historic preservation but also lovingly portray four masterpieces that represent the American character nationally and internationally, four architectural icons that are integral parts of and outstanding works in the spectacular cityscape of New York."--BOOK JACKET.
