Christoph Niemann [Legos] NY

New York City has inspired countless works of art, from films and novels to Boogie Woogie abstraction and at least one moon-crossed Christopher Cross ballad. It drove illustrator Christoph Niemann to get on the floor of his Berlin home and play with Legos. The result was a memorable post on his New York Times blog that has been expanded into book form. I LEGO N.Y., out this month from Abrams Image, takes readers of all ages on an annotated tour of the five boroughs.
