Description
The Eugene Gordon Photograph Collection contains black and white gelatin silver prints of street life, religious groups, buildings, and public events of New York City. The photographs show New Yorkers going about their lives in a vibrant city. Gordons attention to detail, and to the changing face of the citys population and streetscape, is evident in images showing ethnic neighborhoods in Queens. The largest groupings of photographs are of Times Square and the 1970 Women's Strike for Equality. Other images show Hare Krishnas, Sikhs, St. Peters Lutheran church being demolished, and the United Nations. Several photographs represent the following neighborhoods: Harlem, Jackson Heights, Flushing, and Long Island City in Queens, Brighton Beach and Greenpoint in Brooklyn. Gift given in two parts: Eugene Gordon, 2005 & Miriam Gordon, 2008.
