Gallery 138
138 W 17th StGallery 138 is pleased to present Coney Island Baby, a series of photographs taken by noted Broadway photographer Rivka Shifman Katvan, opening September 27. Katvan’s photographs have been widely celebrated throughout New York’s theatrical and artistic communities. She has photographed the backstage transformation of beloved Broadway stars like Alan Cumming, Gregory Hines, and Elizabeth Taylor. In this new series, Katvan directs and photographs her first theatrical improvisation, capturing the spirit and mystery of another New York icon, Coney Island. Slated for demolition in September 2007, Coney Island’s fabled Astroland Amusement Park will now remain open through the 2008 season.
"Coney," one man said in 1904, "is the most bewilderingly up-to-date place of amusement in the world." Coney Island is a lively and absorbing portrait of the extraordinary amusement empire that astonished, delighted and shocked the nation -- and took Americans from the Victorian age into the modern world. - PBS/Coney Island the American Experience
