Discover the work and career of American journalist and author Robert A. Caro on a docent-led guided tour of Robert Caro’s The Power Broker at 50 and “Turn Every Page”: Inside the Robert A Caro.
The Power Broker has been called “surely the greatest book ever written about a city.” This groundbreaking book made known for the first time how Robert Moses, over more than four decades and without ever being elected to public office, amassed power so immense that with it, he shaped New York. The installation explores the story behind the book: how Caro uncovered the truth behind the image that Moses had so carefully cultivated to reveal the extent of Moses’ power and the heartbreaking human cost behind his public works.
"Turn Every Page" includes never-before-seen highlights from the recently opened Robert A. Caro Archive—which New-York Historical acquired in 2019—that provide an intimate view of how Caro started his career and how he worked as a reporter.
