Urban Treasures
The Found Art of New York City
The Many Pleasures: Found Art in New York City
celebrates the City’s rich visual tapestry through photographs of street and subway surfaces transformed by human hand and organic decay. The book’s images of torn posters on buildings, construction fences, subway panels, and doors and mailboxes covered with stickers and graffiti remind us that art is all around us, as much a way of seeing as objects to behold.
