Inside New York by Richard Berenholtz
New York's architecture indisputably contributes to the city's unique sense of excitement at any time of day or night. While many are familiar with the city's energetic facades and canyon-like streets, fewer people are familiar with the wonders of its interior architecture and design. This book is a magnificent revelation of the works of artists, designers and craftsmen who have created such marvellous interiors. The work ranges from the grand illusions of muralists, to the pomp of Grecian columns or the streamlined detailing of Art Deco lobbies. All of these extraordinary spaces are described by the author and captured with care and artistry by the photographer. Many have surprising histories, often associated with some of the city's greatest characters. Inside New York takes the reader through all the boroughs to cover all the significant periods of interior design - from Romanesque to Renaissance, and from Moorish to Modernist. Shops and hotels, exotic clubs and civic buildings are depicted with a delicate aesthetic awareness. This book is a delightful insight into the unexpected interiors of one of the world's most fascinating cities.
