Gallery Talk | Tour of Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks Show


Join Sean Corcoran, Curator of Prints and Photographs. The exhibition presents the work of photographer Joel Meyerowitz, who spent more than three years recording wild places in New York City's parks. Located in all five boroughs, these escapes to the woodlands, streams, waterfronts, marshes, and beaches are among the city's greatest assets, yet they are hidden in plain sight. Through his photographs, Meyerowitz transports the viewer into the heart of a lush wilderness, while portraying pockets of nature as an inextricable part of city life today.

Author Reading | Steve Luxenberg reads from his book Annie's Ghosts: A Journey into a Family Secret


Luxenberg's mother told everyone she was an only child, sometimes within minutes of meeting them. When he heard that his mother had been hiding the existence of a sister, he was bewildered. Through personal letters and photographs, official records and archival documents, as well as dozens of interviews, Luxenberg, an associate editor at The Washington Post, revisits his mother’s world in the 1930s and 1940s in search of how and why the secret was born. He pieces together the story of his mother’s motivations, his aunt’s unknown life, and the times in which they lived.
