NEW YORK, CAPITAL OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Renowned poet and conceptual artist Kenneth Goldsmith collects a massive assortment of quotations about New York City in the twentie th century. This kaleidoscopic montage from hundreds of sources is a literary adoration of New York as the capital of the world, and was inspired by Walter Benjamins unfinished masterpiece, The Arcades Project, a compendium of quotations about nineteenth-century Paris.
