Product Description

Book Description

By now, the story of September 11 has been burned into our collective memory, but few have seen New York from the perspective of Magnum photographers. Eleven members of the legendary photo agency immediately dispersed from their monthly meeting in New York as the events unfolded, risking their own lives to document the incomprehensible. Their photographs, by turns haunting, surreal, and breathtaking, are collected together in New York September 11, by Magnum Photographers, compellingly presented in a high-quality edition from powerHouse Books. From their various vantage points we are transported to Ground Zero to witness the destruction of the World Trade Center, the buildings’ implosion which sent thousands fleeing from debris through the streets, and the exodus out, only to return to the scene in quiet observation and admiration of the rescue workers whose jobs have only begun—and of the mourners who have been gathering in bewildering grief.

As a tribute to the World Trade Center’s noted place in history, New York September 11, by Magnum Photographers will also include some of the most beloved photographs of the Twin Towers taken by Magnum over the last quarter of a century.

Magnum photographers responding on September 11 include Steve McCurry, Susan Meiselas, Larry Towell, Gilles Peress, Thomas Hoepker, Alex Webb, Paul Fusco, Eli Reed, David Alan Harvey, Bruce Gilden, and Chien-Chi Chang. Classic World Trade Center images in the book have been provided by Magnum photographers Bruce Davidson, Dennis Stock, Burt Glinn, Hiroji Kubota, Josef Koudelka, Richard Kalvar and Raymond Depardon. Book design by Yolanda Cuomo Design, New York City.

4.0 out of 5 stars We all saw it... but not directly thru a lens..., 4 Jan 2002
By A Customer
For those of you not familiar with the name "Magnum", they are a photographers collective that mainly shoot Reportage (in its loosest sense) Photographs. The name Magnum always (in my opinion) has the quality tag attached to its work, as the photographers work usually has some personality and intimacy attached. This book is no exception.

We can appreciate that (obviously) this was no pre-planned Photo assigment/project, and as a result here we have a well produced, personal and above all honest portrayal of what happened in that dreadful period. All of the photographers have different personal accounts (which they briefly share) and approach the subject with their own (uncontrived) style.

The Bruce Gilden pictures contained express a style that those familiar with his work will recognise, yet capture the look of shock and absolute bewilderment of the people involved. As i said above, this book captures the personal aspect of what happened in a non sensationlist, but very real manner. And this is an important aspect to remember, as i'm quite many of us (around the world) felt it was a very personal act of terror.

If you are looking for a book that documents this event in a sensationalist, all angles, gory/glory detail, this isnt the publication for you. If however you want something that is emotionally compelling and well produced - i cant recommend this enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC! A great collection of photos of 9/11 & aftermath, 3 Sep 2002
This book is fantastic. After such a keen interest in 9/11 and the World Trade Center, i don't usually pay £17 for a book, but this really was worth every penny.
I visited the World Trade Center back in 1997 and the photos shock me. Each set of photos contains a story of how the photos were taken by the photographers. The risks and challenges they faced to get some shots. It is really interesting.
I was slightly let down by the fact that not many photos were taken of the collapse of the plane impacts, the moments when the world really did change for ever. The book contains good, yet shocking, photos of the aftermath. You really understand the extent of the damage done and how far the debris spread following the collapse of the World Trade Center.

There are also about 50+ full colour photos taking up two whole pages, which look breath taking. Sometimes you even forget that these are photos. They make you feel like you were there. The most stunning photos are of firefighters bowing their heads, with the World Trade Center Plaza Wall wreckage in the foreground.

A very interesting book, worth the full £17.
Buy it now and save it for history!
