Around a hundred photographs by Andreas Feininger, one of the finest photographers of the 20th century, who immortalised the life and architecture of the American metropolis.

A unique atmosphere of New York in the 1940s, Manhattan cityscapes, skyscrapers, bridges, streets, people and events – all these are to be discovered in the extraordinary photographs by Feininger. Today a part of the canon of the 20th century photography, the images document the American city as seen through the eyes of a European and an immigrant. 

 “Wandering day and night down the fascinating streets and quays of New York, I took pictures of everything that seemed characteristic, interesting, or simply beautiful” – Feininger confessed. “A trip to New York captured in a single shot of the master […] could, indeed, become one of the artistic highlights of this year’s summer”. Gazeta Krakowska “The exhibition is a must for everyone even remotely interested in photography”. Dziennik Zachodni
