Of all the world's great cities, perhaps none is so defined by its Art Deco architecture as New York.
Lively and informative, New York Art Deco leads readers step-by-step past the monuments of the 1920s and '30s that recast New York as the world's modern metropolis.
Anthony W.
Robins, New York's best-known Art Deco guide, includes an introductory essay describing the Art Deco phenomenon, followed by eleven walking tour itineraries in Manhattan--each accompanied by a map designed by legendary New York cartographer John Tauranac--and a survey of Deco sites across the four other boroughs.
Also included is a photo gallery of sixteen color plates by nationally acclaimed Art Deco photographer Randy Juster.
In New York Art Deco, Robins has distilled thirty years' worth of experience into a guidebook for all to enjoy at their own pace.
