Description

Berenice ABbott, a Midwesterner who first came to New York in 1918, was one of the 20th century's most important photographers and her images have come to define 1930s New York City. In 1921 she moved to Paris and worked as Man Ray's darkroom assistant. In 1929 she returned to America to document a changing New York. This deluxe hardcover edition features a showcase of over 300 black and white photographs as well as 113 variant images, drawings and period maps.

Description

In January 1929, after spending eight years in Europe, the young Berenice Abbott returned to the United States and was seized by a "fantastic passion" to photograph New York City, a passion she pursued for the next ten years. The resulting project contains over 300 photographs.
