Retronaut’s New York

(SC Exhibitions / Premier Exhibitions; 2016)

“‘Retronaut's New York’, a pop-up exhibition of historic panoramas of New York produced by SC Exhibitions runs in Spring 2016 at Premier Exhibitions, 417 5th Avenue, Manhattan. The exhibition was opened by Josh Sapan, CEO and Chairman of AMC Networks.

“For the exhibition, Wolfgang Wild has taken as his starting point a set of extraordinary panoramic photographs capturing New York City more than a hundred years ago. These widescreen images are not the small, sepia and faded snapshots of the past that we have come to expect. The images are massive, super high-resolution, and extraordinarily over a century old. The past becomes the present once again.

“Lined up for a family photograph, Victorians often looked grim and staid - people from another era. But curator Wolfgang Wild offers a fascinating snapshot of family life that reveals the Victorians and Edwardians were often more modern than we think.

“Wolfgang Wild - otherwise known as the Retronaut - has spent the past year mining the photographic collection of the Woodhorn Museum and Northumberland Archives. This fascinating treasure trove - which will be exhibited from 27 September - is designed to change our perception of the past.”

“The digital audience for the Retronaut exhibition was 17 million. This figure is staggering. The economic value was over £350k - a 1000% return on the internal cost of the time spent on the campaign.

A stunning 47,624 people then went on to engage with the images by commenting on them, sharing them with friends and liking them etc. on social media. And we know the images are still being talked about on the world web. Which is fantastic”
