The Unknown Berenice Abbott

Berenice Abbott (1898-1991)

Synopsis

"The Unknown Berenice Abbott" is a comprehensive five-volume collection revealing unseen and unpublished photographs by Berenice Abbott. "New York--Early Work" features rare images of New York post-1929 Wall Street Crash, captured as preliminary sketches for larger works. "The American Scene" documents Abbott’s 1933-1935 travels across America. "Deep Woods" showcases her 1943 and 1967 documentation of the Red River Logging Company in California's Sierra Mountains. "Greenwich Village" compiles photographs of Manhattan's Lower West Side. "U.S. 1, U.S.A." captures Abbott's color experiments and her 1954 journey along U.S. Route 1, foreshadowing Robert Frank's "The Americans."
