Helen Levitt’s Here and There captures the vibrant, unscripted theater of New York City street life across several decades, standing as a testament to the photographer’s peerless eye for the poetry of everyday urban existence. Primarily focused on the working-class neighborhoods of East Harlem and the Lower East Side, Levitt turned her lens toward children at play, neighborhood residents on stoops, and fleeting theatrical moments unfolding on asphalt and sidewalks.
