Harrison Photography Gallery
Free Exhibition
This exhibition will consist of approximately 40 photographs by Berenice Abbott (American, 1898–1991) drawn primarily from the Institute’s permanent collection. Abbott is acknowledged as a pre-eminent influence in American photography, who was active from the late 1920s through the 1960s. Most well known for her heroic yet affectionate photographs of New York City in the 1930s, she was also widely recognized for her skillfully realized scientific photographs and for her portraits of notable artists and writers.
Organized by The Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
