I Lego New York

Product Description

”I LEGO N.Y.” is a book of LEGO depictions of New York City created by designer & illustrator Christoph Niemann. One day, Niemann wrote the following on Abstract City, his ” New York Times” blog: ` During the cold & dark Berlin winter days, I spend alot of time with my boys in their room. & as I look at the toys scattered on the floor, my mind inevitably wanders back to New York`. What followed in the post were photographs of a series of miniature vignettes of New York constructed out of his sons` LEGO sets with Niemann`s handwritten captions. The creations are clever & minimalist, capturing both the iconic (Empire State Building) & the everyday (plastic bag caught in a tree branch) using fewer LEGO pieces than one might think possible. This book

Includes:: the best of the original images, plus thirteen new images, created exclusively for this book. The resulting collection is a delightful in its simplicity & moving in its ability to capture the spirit of life in New York in so few strokes.
