SynopsisMatteo Pericoli trained as an architect in Milan and then came to work in New York in 1995. His arrival preceded by just a few days the arrival of the biggest snowstorm of the decade, and the sense of the city in its wakeespecially its silenceremained in his mind. He experienced similar feeling taking photographs of Riverside Drive from the Circle Line ferry, and decided to transpose them into a line drawing. It was then that he felt compelled to photograph the whole of New York's shoreline profilefrom Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and New Jersey (which he reached by motorcycle) and make two continuous and continuously enchanting pen-and-ink drawing of Manhattan's skyline. Manhattan Unfurledis published in an elegant slipcase, and the drawings fold out, accordion-style, with the West on one side and the East on the other. An introduction by distinguished New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger, who first wrote bout Matteo's project inThe New Yorker's"Talk of the Town," will accompany the drawing in a separate pamphlet. This book is both a wonderful New York City memento, perfect for gift giving, and an entirely unique work of art.Offers a portrait of Manhattan in fold-out format, revealing a panoramic view of the famous skyline in winter.
