The predecessors of William Meyers worked almost entirely in Manhattan, but he worked in the other four boroughs -- Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of his pictures were taken on anonymous streets where the people of the place live and go about their business; they represent the quotidian, not the spectacular. They are the outer boroughs of the spirit as well as of the physical city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is not concerned with documentation, the way things look, but with \"thusness\" -- the feel of a place at a particular moment. Each image represents a certain time in a certain part of a certain city where, he has found, even in unlikely neighbourhoods there are occasions for beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2008, the New York Public Library purchased a portfolio of 86 prints for its permanent collection. Other prints are in the collections of the Museum of the City of New York and the New-York Historical Society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461231427820,"sku":"9788862084017","price":72.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9788862084017-outer-boroughs.jpg?v=1774962822","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/outer-boroughs-by-william-meyers-9788862084017","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
