Berenice Abbott

Berenice Abbott (1898-1991)

Synopsis

This two-volume set offers a comprehensive retrospective of the work of Berenice Abbott, a pivotal figure in twentieth-century photography. It showcases her early portraiture of Parisian artists and literary figures from the 1920s, including James Joyce and Sylvia Beach, captured while she was Man Ray’s darkroom assistant. Abbott's acclaimed New York photographs from the 1930s document the city's architectural and social changes. The collection also highlights her editorial work on Eugene Atget and her lesser-known projects, such as a 1954 road trip along Route 1 and her scientific photography from the 1950s for MIT. This publication serves as a definitive catalogue of Abbott's diverse photographic contributions.
