A collection of photographs by Berenice Abbott, a pioneering American female photographer. She studied photography as an assistant to Man Ray in Paris, and later met Eugene Atget in his later years. She was so enamoured with his photographs that she purchased some of his prints and negatives, introducing him to the world. Her own work, Changing New York, which she photographed over a period of eight years as New York changed with the advancement of industrialization in the 1930s, is a masterpiece that continues to be reprinted today. This book is a collection of Abbott's career, and includes portraits of artists such as Jean Cocteau and Marcel Duchamp from her time in Paris, the Changing New York series, and the 'Science' series, in which Abbott improved her own equipment and took on experimental photography.
