Berenice Abbott exhibition at the Jeu de Paume
from 21st February – 29th April 2012
Inspired by Atget to document the profound change happening to her favourite city (New York), Berenice Abbott (1898-1991) was also Man Ray’s assistant during her time in Paris.
Her photos show a fascinating period in the history of the United States; the architecture of a burgeoning industrial power, the Depression, followed by the country’s search for modernism and its lack of respect for the past. This exhibition show both the diversity and unity of her work.
