[ePub] Giudicare l'arte attuale (Italian Edition) by Gianfranco Missiaja in Arts-Photography

Description

Maps are magical. Every graphic; like every story; has a point of view; and New York is rife with mapmaking possibilities; thick with mythology; and glutted with history. You Are Here: NYC assembles some two hundred maps charting every inch and facet of the five boroughs; depicting New Yorks of past and present; and a city that never was."A Nightclub Map of Harlem" traces a boozy night from the Radium and the Cotton Club to the Savoy and then the Lafayette; "Wonders of New York" pinpoints three hundred sites of interest; including the alleged location of Captain Kidds buried treasure; the Ghostbusters subway map plots the route from Astral Projections Place to Stay Puft Street; and a rejected proposal of ornate topiaries illustrates a Central Park that might have been. This sequel to the best-selling You Are Here includes original essays by Bob Mankoff; Maria Popova; Sarah Boxer; and Rebecca Cooper; among others.
