The book box set includes three unique components created as part of Meyerowitz's project resulting from a commission he received from the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation to document the city's parks in the 2000s:
- A copy of the book "Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks with a special-edition bellyband,
- "The Hallett," a limited-edition book featuring one of the artist's favorite spots, the Hallett Nature Sanctuary in Manhattan. "The Hallett" was designed and printed exclusively for this edition using an HP Indigo Digital Press.

Each book and print is signed and numbered by Meyerowitz.

It includes photographs from Meyerowitz’s complete oeuvre, including his color and black and white street photographs from the 60s and 70s, the Cape Cod seascapes, his landmark images documenting Ground Zero after 9/11 and his later work in Tuscany and on the parks of New York City.
Numbering is on the book, signature is on the print.
This expanded edition of Joel Meyerowitz’s widely acclaimed 1983 photobook, Wild Flowers, in a larger format, featured new and unpublished images. For nearly forty years Joel Meyerowitz tended his visual garden in the streets and parks and cities he has visited or lived in. He went out into the streets open-eyed and passionate, carrying a machine which was perfectly suited to the task of taking it all in. The Leica, as quick as the flick of an eyelash, effortlessly interrupts time, stopping and holding it forever. These walks gave shape to new territory for him, which he began to think of as a garden that reflected the variety of his observations. Then, one day, while editing, Meyerowitz stumbled upon a small group of these flower photographs which he had gathered unknowingly. He began to believe that this innocent premise might be enough to tie together many of his other photographic concerns under the nominal subject of ‘flowers,’ which, given the surprises of city life, he viewed as flowers gone somewhat berserk—and so Wild Flowers was born.
Comes with 2 different covers, it's the cover b with the swimming pool photograph.
Joel Meyerowitz, American, (b.1938)
Meyerowitz began his career making spontaneous pictures on the streets of New York and has become known as one of the most important street photographers of his generation. He was one of a small group of photographers who, in the 1960s and 70s was instrumental in changing attitudes towards color photography from those of resistance to universal acceptance. An innovator and highly influential teacher, he has won innumerable awards and is best known for his pioneering color photographs of architecture, light and space.
