Amsterdam discovered by New York photographers

May 14, 2009 To mark the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s discovery of Manhattan, Foam (Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam) is teaming up with the Amsterdam City Archives and the John Adams Institute to organize an exhibition about Amsterdam, as seen through the eyes of four New York photographers.

Gus Powell, Carl Wooley, Richard Rothman and Joshua Lutz were each commissioned to explore a different aspect of the city: the street, the night, the water and the outskirts.

This commission has resulted in surprising images, which show an unknown side of Amsterdam. On show at the Amsterdam City Archives until August 23. 2009.
