This event has ended.

Aperture presents a talk and book signing with master photographer Joel Meyerowitz on the occasion of the release of his new monograph Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks (Aperture, October 2009). This stunningly beautiful collection of images is the result of a unique commission Meyerowitz received from the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation to document, interpret, and celebrate the nearly 9,000 acres of parks in the five boroughs that have been left or returned to their most natural state. Meyerowitz is the first photographer to document New York City’s parks since the 1930s, when they were photographed as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s WPA program.
