Continuing on the theme of Women’s History Month, here’s a picture from Berenice Abbott. Born in Springfield, Ohio, Berenice Abbott came to New York City at the age of 20, then began her career as a photographer during an extended time in Paris, where she worked as an assistant to photographer Man Ray. Returning to New York in 1929, she had her first solo museum exhibition at our museum in 1934. Our online collections boasts over 600 negatives and multiple versions of 300+ images printed by the photographer for her “Changing New York” series which was created by her for us under the Federal Art Project. Check them out by following the link in our profile and heading to our collections.
