TED Prize winner, Oscar nominee, and one of Time's 100 most
influential people of 2018, JR is a contemporary art superstar.
In 2018, over one thousand New Yorkers posed for the camera and told
their stories at JR's mobile photo studio and JR compiled their
portraits into an astounding photographic mural--a portrait of the
city--for the Brooklyn Museum.
This book features both the final mural and every individual photo,
as well as a selection of compelling stories and a behind-the-scenes
look at how this incredible work was made.
- This art piece captures the essence of an iconic city in words and
images
- Includes a removable poster that showcases the entire mural
- Features a foreword by Darren Walker and an artist's statement
- Beautiful on the coffee table or in a photo book collection

York, and Banksy's Wall and Piece will love this book.
