A Beautiful Catastrophe presents more than 20 years of images taken by lifelong
New Yorker Bruce Gilden on the city’s streets. Working in a close-range, confrontational style, Gilden’s approach brings New York into startling focus,
revealing a strange but familiar dreamscape that echoes Le Corbusier’s famous description of the city as "a beautiful catastrophe."
