New York

New York is the city of big dreams and constant change. Thomas Hoepker, legendary photojournalist, and former president of Magnum Photos, documents the history of the city since the early 1960s. With his images he captures the complex spirit and true face of the city in all its moods and with the people who live there. Hoepker thus creates a tribute to New York and New Yorkers.
