Through the Eyes of a Venetian.

Venice as nobody knows it: a surprising and intimate look at the "Serenissima".

The only illustrated book about Venice on the market in black and white

Photographer Federico Povoleri is a born Venetian and knows his hometown like no other. With his poetic black and white photographs, he captures an atmosphere of the lagoon city that usually gets lost in the hustle and bustle of the tourist crowds.
Federico Povoleri's knowledge of the city allows him to capture motifs that we seem to know - and yet show us Venice in a new light. And so his illustrated book is a melancholic declaration of love for his hometown and at the same time a memorial to the creeping destruction of its unique beauty.

German photographer Thomas Hoepker (1936) has had a strong connection with New York since the late 1960s. For over fifty years, he commuted between Germany and The Big Apple, where he held various roles, from correspondent for Stern and Art Director to Magnum photographer. Like Elliott Erwitt, Hoepker feels most at home in the vibrant street life, where he enjoys capturing the crowds and anonymous individuals, each carrying their own stories.

The second edition of Hoepker's New York, published by teNeues, includes 16 additional pages and 37 new, previously unpublished images covering the period from 1960 to 2019. Hoepker captures people and their way of life in an unfiltered and direct manner, while also showcasing the photographer's own artistic development.

The photos, sourced from Hoepker's extensive archive, vary widely in style, from black-and-white formats to color and architectural photographs, as well as vivid street snapshots. As poet and Pulitzer Prize winner Charles Simic aptly describes, Hoepker's photos capture moments of beauty and shock that even the most sensitive observer might overlook, which enhances the pleasure and impact of viewing the images in this book.

Experience the vibrant soul of New York through the iconic images of Elliott Erwitt, who has been capturing the city since 1948. His photographs capture unexpected, everyday moments with a unique irony, from celebrity encounters to striking street scenes.

This revised edition unveils Erwitt's timeless work, with the addition of previously unreleased images from the 1950s and 60s. From playful humor to deep emotion, his photographs bring the essence of the city and its inhabitants to life.

Elliott Erwitt’s New York is the last book the photographer personally worked on before his death on November 29, 2023, at the age of 95.
