“Uno appartiene a New York istantaneamente, uno le appartiene in cinque minuti così come in cinque anni.” Tom Wolfe
This is my third time in New York City and the impression is always the same: here is where everything happens, here everything has its start.
There is something incredibly creative in the air and in every square inch of this Metropolis something happens you couldn’t have ever imagined. Yesterday night, while I was going back home with my eyes semi closed, I saw at Bryant Park metro stop this exhibition: “Marylin in New York“.
Questa è la mia terza volta a New York e ogni volta l’impressione è sempre la stessa: qui tutto accade, qui tutto inizia.
C’è qualcosa nell’aria di immensamente creativo e in ogni cm quadrato di questa metropoli avviene qualcosa che neanche avevi immaginato prima. Ieri notte tornando a casa con gli occhi semi chiusi ho scoperto alla fermata della metro di Bryant Park sulla 42th questa mostra: “Marilyn in New York“.
Sam Shaw is a popular American photographer mainly famous to catch charismatics artists in their most off duties looks. He has never followed a script.
Shaw said about Marilyn:”I just want to show this fascinating woman, with her guard down, at work, at ease offstage, during joyous moments in her life and as she often was – alone”.
And we can’t avoid saying “Thank You” to people like him who made iconic characters immortal.

Sam Shaw è un fotografo americano famoso per “catturare” istanti di vita vissuta di personaggi e artisti particolarmente carismatici, non lavorava secondo un copione o un editoriale già scritto in modo da favorire l’improvvisazione.
Shaw diceva di Marylin: “Voglio semplicemente mostrare questa donna affascinante, con la guardia abbassata, al lavoro, a suo agio dietro le quinte, durante i momenti gioiosi della sua vita e di come lei era spesso – da sola”.
E che dire se non grazie a questi fotografi che rendono personaggi iconici immortali.
