The exhibition celebrating the city is comprised of recent acquisitions donated by the Joy of Giving Something Foundation.

“There’s a kind of a continuity of life in New York,” Corcoran said. “You see the look on certain people’s faces from 1930 and 1980 and there’s just this quality of a New Yorker that just kind of comes through.”
