Product information "Coffee Table Book New York"
The city that never sleeps – and never stops telling stories
New York has many faces – and sometimes, one page is enough to feel them all. “New York – Portrait of a City” by TASCHEN brings that unmistakable energy into your home. This large-format coffee table book (25 x 34 cm) spans 560 pages of striking photography curated by Reuel Golden. Weighing 4.41 kg and bound in a premium hardcover, it’s as substantial as the city it portrays. The collection ranges from early 20th-century imagery to contemporary urban scenes, capturing the rhythm, contrast and intensity of New York life. Presented in multiple languages (German, English, French), it offers both visual richness and cultural context.
Somewhere between noise and stillness
New York is fast, loud, unpredictable – yet filled with quiet, human moments. This coffee table book reflects that duality. From iconic skylines to candid street scenes, the images reveal a city in constant motion. It’s not just about landmarks; it’s about the life unfolding in between.
Publishing that captures culture
For over 40 years, TASCHEN has been creating books that blend design, storytelling and cultural relevance. Their publications are more than books – they are objects of inspiration. “New York – Portrait of a City” embodies this philosophy through thoughtful curation and high-quality production.
A book that takes you somewhere else
Whether styled on a coffee table, displayed on a shelf or given as a meaningful gift, this book integrates effortlessly into modern interiors. It pairs beautifully with other volumes or stands strong on its own. And chances are, you’ll return to it often – because New York is never fully told in just one glance.
