Hardcover. Condición: VG. Color illustrated boards with black text. 66 pp. Many color illustrations. With nine additional photos, a larger format, and an expanded, up-to-date timeline, this is the new and revised edition of Joel Sternfeld's Walking the High Line, which documents the overgrown elevated freight rail line above New York's West Side before it was transformed into the cherished High Line public park in 2009. In the dark days following the September 11 attacks in New York in 2001, Joel Sternfeld came to Gerhard Steidl with the hope of quickly making a book. For the previous two years Sternfeld had been photographing the abandoned railroad and working with a group, the Friends of the High Line, that wanted to save it and turn it into a park. Powerful real estate and political interests seeking to tear it down and commercially develop the land beneath it were using the chaos of the period to rush forward their plans. Steidl agreed--and six weeks later there were finished books in New York. It was a small volume but it played a crucial role in allowing New Yorkers to see for the first time the beauty of a secret railroad in all the seasons. Like the photographs made by William Henry Jackson in the 1870s of Yellowstone that led Congress to establish a national park, the pictures proved pivotal in the making of the High Line park.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. All of the stars had to align for the High Line to be saved-and they did. This little book was one of those stars. - Joel Sternfeld In one of his last acts as mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani signed an order permitting the High Line, that beloved elevated railroad ruin which snaked down the west side of Manhattan, to be torn down. Everyone who had managed to climb up onto the High Line loved it: the wildflowers growing through disused tracks, the birds that followed the path north in spring, and south again in fall-that rural feeling magically flowing through the city like an unbidden river. Who didn't love the High Line? Those who owned the land beneath it and longed to erect high-rise buildings on the site, if only the High Line wasn't blocking their way. And so when Giuliani signed that order, the Friends of the High Line, the small community organization led by Robert Hammond and Joshua David, sprang into legal action, seeking an injunction. For over a year, Joel Sternfeld had already been photographing this hidden jewel in every season, so New Yorkers could visually climb up and see it too. In October 2001, while the rubble of the World Trade Center was still smoldering, Gerhard Steidl accepted Sternfeld's urgent request to make a book and flew to New York: together they designed Walking the High Line and just seven weeks later it was delivered, a vision for the wildly successful park that today hosts over two million visitors a year. Now in a new edition with nine additional photos, a larger format and an updated timeline, this is the book that made walking the High Line possible.

Tapa Dura. Condición: New. En uno de sus últimos actos como alcalde de la ciudad de Nueva York, Rudy Giuliani firmó una orden que permitía derribar el High Line, esa querida ruina del ferrocarril elevado que serpenteaba por el lado oeste de Manhattan. A todos los que habían logrado subir al High Line les encantó: las flores silvestres que crecían en los caminos en desuso, los pájaros que seguían el camino hacia el norte en primavera y nuevamente hacia el sur en otoño; esa sensación rural que fluye mágicamente a través de la ciudad como un río espontáneo. ¿A quién no le encantó el High Line? Aquellos que eran dueños del terreno debajo de él y anhelaban erigir edificios de gran altura en el sitio, si tan solo el High Line no estuviera bloqueando su camino. Y así, cuando Giuliani firmó esa orden, Friends of the High Line, la pequeña organización comunitaria dirigida por Robert Hammond y Joshua David, emprendió acciones legales en busca de una orden judicial.Durante más de un año, Joel Sternfeld ya había estado fotografiando esta joya escondida en cada temporada, para que los neoyorquinos pudieran subir visualmente y verla también. En octubre de 2001, mientras los escombros del World Trade Center todavía ardían, Gerhard Steidl aceptó la petición urgente de Sternfeld de hacer un libro y voló a Nueva York: juntos diseñaron Walking the High Line y sólo siete semanas después se entregó, una visión para el parque de gran éxito que hoy recibe a más de dos millones de visitantes al año. Ahora en una nueva edición con nueve fotografías adicionales, un formato más grande y una línea de tiempo actualizada, este es el libro que hizo posible caminar por High Line. Libro, Book, Buch.
