New York by Lynn Saville
LOST, New York by Lynn Saville, 2018
Lynn Saville fell in love with New York City as a child when her professor parents, on the way to a sabbatical year in Europe, took her through this grand metropolis. She vowed to return and as a graduate student of photography at Pratt Institute, she discovered that the city came alive for her at twilight. During that transitional time, the streets and buildings seemed to dream their own dreams. Captivated by this vision, Saville has explored the twilight cityscape at both the center and the margins. She reveals the city as a vacant or nearly vacant stage set, but one that hides a secret plenitude.
Saville’s urban photographs have been recognized through awards, exhibitions, and publications. She received a fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts, and her work has been widely exhibited in the U.S. and abroad. Saville is also the author of three monographs, the two most recent being Night/Shift (Monacelli/Random House), with an introduction by Arthur C. Danto, and Dark City: Urban America at Night (Damiani), with an introduction by Geoff Dyer.
