The exhibition at Leica Gallery celebrates the publication of Revesz's new book, NEW YORK (W.W.Norton), a captivating selection of photographs showing New York City from a fresh perspective. This collection of photographs has been described by Cornell Capa as "an intriguing blend of fresh eyes and a Central European vit...that reflects the look and spirit of New York at the turn of century...At first glance [the photographs] look like they are about one thing, when on closer examination it emerges that they are actually about something else altogether. This dichotomy has become Revesz's trademark." Peter Shevenell, art director of JCCA, says, that Revesz has "brought a new perspective to the black-and-white New York cityscape and urban scene genre (no small feat considering how many photographers have covered this ground before). Where others have looked at New York and seen only the weighty hand of modernity...or our pathetic attempts to escape through entertainment, revelry, even crime...[he has] found some timeless magic, and perhaps even - yes transcendence."
Jim Mairs, editor at W.W.Norton, says that "with a photographic eye not unlike of his fellow countryman, Andre Kertesz, [Revesz] captures the essence of the city in an oblique and often surprising way...The poetry and charm of these images will speak both to New Yorkers and visitors alike."
