Publisher's Synopsis
Nic Lehoux: The New Whitney Museum is an in depth, photographic exploration of the New Whitney Museum designed by Renzo Piano, in New York. Nic Lehoux was commissioned by architect Renzo Piano and the museum to document the museum in its first year of opening in 2015-2016. Using his unique approach mixing architectural photography and photojournalism, Nic captured this exciting new museum from the neighborhood scale down to the intimacy of the individual galleries. In this way, this book documents the soul of this museum, and its effect on the changing meatpacking district. The book also includes a selection of insightful conceptual drawings by Renzo Piano, with whom Nic collaborated extensively during the documentation process. Renzo Piano's vision is captured through a symbiosis of these drawings and the photographs. With an in depth interview by author Fred Bernstein.
