The City is a Novel

This monograph is the first major publication devoted to American (Russian-born) photographer Alexey Titarenko's 30-year long career. The book features his autobiographical novel City of Shadows, and more than 140 photographs comprising a poetic visual narrative focused on four cities: St. Petersburg, Venice, Havana and New York. Insightful essays about Titarenko’s work are contributed by Gabriel Bauret, photography historian, critic, and curator, Paris based; Brett Abbott, Curator of Photography, High Museum of Art, Atlanta; and Sean Corcoran, Curator of Prints and Photographs, Museum of the City of New York.
