Scenes of New York City celebrates the promised gift of 130 works
from the Elie and Sarah Hirschfeld Collection to the New-York
Historical Society. The Hirschfeld promised gift is at once a
collection of individual works by talented artists from the 19th
and 20th centuries, a series of vivid "snapshots" of the iconic
city, and a tapestry weaving a narrative of Gotham's vibrant
history. These fascinating celebrations of New York City-paintings,
watercolours, drawings, prints, and sculpture whose strength lies
in the 20th century-include 113 works by 82 American and European
artists not currently represented in the collection. They expand
the Museum's holdings in the modern era and help to diversify them,
adding numerous works by pivotal artists including Isabel Bishop,
Marc Chagall, Fernand Leger, George Grosz, Keith Haring, Franz
Kline, WIllem de Kooning, Jacob Lawrence, Louise Nevelson, Mark
Rothko and Andy Warhol among many others. The catalogue features an
introductory essay covering the sweeping history of New York City,
an interview with the collector Elie Hirschfeld, 110 scholarly
entries about the 130 works, and comparative material that
illuminates the history of the City and the artistic contributions
in the works of art
