A collection of photographs taken by Dutch photographers, in New York, Descendants of the Dutch who arrived in on these shores 400 years ago, these photographs reflect their personal impressions and experience of New York City in these times.
There is a direct link between New York's Dutch Founding and the City of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Wall Street. The city of immigrants, the iconically hustling and turbid metropolis celebrated in these images, has its roots in the flat landscape of Vermeer and Rembrandt. These photographs constitute an act of re-remembrance, of rediscovery. In them, ou might say, the Dutch reacquaint themselves with a long-lost child, now grown to bewildering maturity.
