SEPTEMBER 3, 2002 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
One of the most dramatic images in The Jewish Museum’s exhibition, New York: Capital of Photography, which closes on September 2, will be placed on view in the lobby of the The Jewish Museum throughout the month of September. Jeff Mermelstein’s poignant image taken the afternoon of the attack is a testament to the city’s ongoing resilience in the face of hardship. Mermelstein’s photograph depicts J. Seward Johnson’s Double Check, a once strikingly lifelike sculpture and one of the few surviving works of art from the fall of the World Trade Center. This image is a tribute to the enduring spirit of New York City and its inhabitants, and a love of the city for its remarkable and unshakable spirit.
The Jewish Museum is located at 1109 Fifth Avenue at 92nd Street, Manhattan. Museum hours are: Sunday, 10 am to 5:45 pm; Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, 11 am to 5:45 pm; Thursday, 11 am to 8 pm; Friday, 11 am to 3 pm; closed Saturday.
