Dominique Nabokov: The World of the New York Review of Books

The catalogue accompanies the exhibition “Dominique Nabokov: The World of the New York Review of Books, Photographs 1980 – 2009” on view at La Maison Française of New York University from November 1 through December 6, 2013. For over three decades, French photographer Dominique Nabokov has turned her camera lens on friends and colleagues at The New York Review, producing an incisive and intimate portrait of many of its key players. Her black and white photographs capture both the spirit of the magazine and offer informal portraits of its editors, contributors, and supporters. Nabokov has subtly documented many convivial moments and the occasional intellectual jousting between the Review’s varied personalities. The catalogue includes an introduction by Ian Buruma and remarks by the artist.
