Summary

German description: New York ist die Hauptstadt der Photographie. Bereits vor 1900 regten die rasant wachsende Skyline und die Dynamik der Metropole die Pioniere des neuen Mediums an. Sie photographierten Wolkenkratzer, Hafen, Bahnhofe, und entdeckten die Photographie fur die Kunst. Alfred Stieglitz, avantgardistischer Photograph und Galerist, stellte sie als erster mit moderner Malerei aus. In seinem Umfeld entwickelte sich der Pikorialismus von einer impressionistischen Bildauffassung in die beiden Richtungen der amerikanischen Photographie: die street photography und die photographische Abstraktion. Lewis Hine halt Einwanderschicksale und Kindernot mit soziologisch-dokumentarischem Blick fest. Fur Man Ray, der als Maler begonnen hat, wird Photographie zum bevorzugten Medium fur seine dadaistische Bildwelt. Berenice Abbott und Weegee portraitieren das Leben der Menschen in New York - Momentaufnahmen aus der pulsierenden Grossstadt.Das Katalogbuch zur Ausstellung stellt 170 Arbeiten von 40 Photographen und in funf Essays die neuen Forschungen zur amerikanischen Photographie in der ersten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts vor.
