New York City, 1963

Stephen Bulger Gallery, Toronto Estate of Robert Noakes

Used to convey his view of the American social landscape, Friedlander photographed bustling city streets from early in his career in 1948. To him, photographing the street meant condensing the dynamism and abundance of people, places, objects, and reflections into a single image. This work displays many of these elements as people come and go in and out of the doors of a building, with the reflection of passersby appearing as well to reflect the bustling nature of urban living.
