“Bill Cunningham New York” is both a tribute to a somewhat lost artistic past, when artists lived in affordable studios above Carnegie Hall and celebrated daily life with the likes of Editta Sherman, Leonard Bernstein, Marlon Brando and Andy Warhol, and a celebration of the present life of Bill Cunningham, longtime fashion and social-scene photographer for The New York Times, where his “Evening Hours” and “On the Street” columns have captured the lives and styles of New York’s finest and most trendsetting for what seems like forever (well, since the ’60s).
