On view at the Yiddish Book Center

The iconic portraits in Harvey Wang’s New York show the men and women performing New York’s vanishing jobs. A 97-year-old scrap-metal collector, a pillow maker, and a mannequin maker, are just a few of the professions featured in these beautiful and poignant portraits. His photographs entertain and inform while documenting a way of life before it disappears.

Harvey Wang’s New York is on view at the Yiddish Book Center through September 2024.
