Everything about them is just right.&rdquo;<\/em>&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;<strong>Roz Chast, <\/strong><em>New Yorker<\/em> cartoonist<\/p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;&#8230; The beautiful intersection of saturated colorful lights becomes a tapestry that fills and is faceted by the architectural details of each bar, making a magical space to be activated and a stage for our daily human dramas to play out.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;<strong>Kiki Smith<\/strong>, artist<\/p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always said the very best bars are inviting, whether packed or empty. Daniel Root&rsquo;s amazing set of images takes you to a bar netherworld that few get to see. These photos were taken before dawn, after closing, after the porters have been there to clean up and restock the bar before the managers come back to check last night&rsquo;s register ring. It&rsquo;s a part of every single bar, but one that mostly goes unseen.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/em>&mdash;&nbsp;<strong>Eric &ldquo;Roscoe&rdquo; Ambel<\/strong>, guitarist, producer, and former owner of the Lakeside Lounge in NYC<\/p>\n<p><strong>This one-of-a-kind photo book offers evocative portraits of New York bars after closing time. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#65279;<\/strong>Nearly every day, Daniel Root sets out before sunrise to wander the streets of Manhattan with his camera. In those comparatively quiet hours, the entire city wears a different face, but Root is particularly fascinated by the scenes to be glimpsed through the windows of its bars. Empty of patrons and illuminated by an odd mix of artificial lights &mdash; neon beer ads, red EXIT signs, a single bulb above the cash register &mdash; they present a more hushed and mysterious aspect than in the busy evening hours. Nonetheless, each one &mdash; whether a dive bar, a sports bar, or a restaurant bar &mdash; still conveys an individual character, a distinct personality. <strong><em>New York Bars at Dawn<\/em><\/strong> presents some 200 of Root&rsquo;s most compelling bar portraits, ranging from well-known establishments like Balthazar, McSorley&rsquo;s, and the Stonewall Inn to nameless dives and an American Legion post. A foreword by Rosie Schaap, author of <em>Drinking with Men<\/em>, shows us just how much Root&rsquo;s photographs reveal about bar culture, and an afterword by art historian Suzaan Boettger examines their aesthetic qualities. This will be an essential volume for anyone with an interest in nightlife, interiors, or urban photography.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This one-of-a-kind photo book from Abbeville offers evocative portraits of New York City bars after closing time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":43602,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5485],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-43601","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-photography","7":"author-by-author-daniel-root","8":"author-foreword-by-rosie-schaap","9":"publisher-abbeville-press","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New York Bars at Dawn - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: New York Bars at Dawn, Pages: 224 Pages, Publish Date: 3rd Oct 2023, Author: Daniel Root, Foreword by Rosie Schaap, ISBN: 9780789214775.
