The acclaimed artist and architect shares a strolling, personal tour of a city that has become his creative muse and home away from home.
 
Over the years, Danish architect and artist Mikael Olrik has developed a special relationship with New York City, finding endless inspiration in the vibrant and ever-changing metropolis. In Walks in My New York, Olrik shares his fascinating perspective on New York life through a combination of watercolor, photography and text.
 
Olrik explores the city with the broad view of an architect, the specificity of an artist, the straight-forwardness of a photographer, and the companionable text of a diarist. He captures everything from street scenes of everyday life to pastoral views of Central Park and landmarks such as the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge. Small maps accompany each entry and act as a sort of ‘GPS’ in print.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful And Unique Look At New York City
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2015

This is a beautiful book which does indeed reflect the author's time spent in the Provence region of France mixed with a passionate love for New York City. The vibrant warm colors often mixed with clear blues make the artwork come to life. The anecdotes of city life are interesting and communicate the rhythms and characteristics of city life. It's a soft, lovely look at New York through the eyes of an artist.

5.0 out of 5 stars He loves New York! And so do I...
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2015
It often takes an “outsider” to fully appreciate the essence of a foreign country, its culture, its people and its panoply of sights. This is especially true when it comes to sizing up the magnificent and variegated metropolis that is New York! A place carved indelible in almost everyone’s consciousness, whether based on direct or indirect familiarity via movies and TV--unforgettable scenes, filled with skyscrapers, historic, old village charm, splendid city parks and bridges, the elegance of Park and Fifth Avenues with its fashionable stores and mansions, the myriad of yellow cabs and buses in the midst of heavy traffic—not to mention the boisterous Times Square cacophony of Broadway, with its majestic neon lights and its thousands of people moving about. In this book of amazingly riveting watercolors, rendered with an artist’s eye for just the right color tone for their atmospheric impact along with the imbued skill of an architect’s structural know-how, his many photographic snapshots and lovingly rendered textual accompaniments leaves even a New Yorker like myself transfixed with the wonder of all that makes up the story of the Big Apple, its various neighborhoods (in Brooklyn, the Bronx and Harlem, among them) its varied populace, and their exciting impact. I can think of no better guide for the novice visitor-- as well as of interest to older-timers in NY in giving us an infusion of pride, if not also providing some new insights. The author, a Dane, is an accomplished architect/artist who obviously is deeply in love with our city and where he apparently has spent a good bit of time over the years. He is to be commended for this treasure of a book that so wonderfully renders the soul of our city--especially with his unique artistic sensibility. A winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars A heart of New York painted in fantastic Waterloo Colours and told with passion
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2016
Feel New York! Touch the Big Apple. This book captures the heart of New York in wonderful paintings. It's love at first sight. The book and the City go hand in hand. It's strongly renommended when you visit the City first time, the book leads you to both the "must-see" sights and the quiet corners of the wonderful City. You get the feeling: "I want to come back".

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite gift for good friends
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2015
I love this book. I have taken out pages and framed them. I have many times been giving the book to friends on Manhattan. They seem to have seen much less of there great city than Mikael Olrik. The book always stays on my coffee table. Everyone who's visiting us, grabs the book an enjoy the beauty of Olriks paintings.

Absolutely recommendable for art lovers and everyone interested in New York. The perspective of an artist in paintings and drawings is formidable. I really enjoyed reading it and am proud to have it in my modest library.
