Berenice Abbott captured the egomania and wanton development of New York's streetscapes almost a century ago.--John Leland New York Times Abbott's phoros take the grid out of the grid. Symmetries give way to random architectural jostling. Buildings seem to be lean-ing on or over one another, slicing off at odd angles. It's an un-stable cityscape because it's still growing, indifferent to the com-forts of the people below.--John Leland New York Times Presented by Fundacion MAPFRE, the publication offers a journey through Abbott's career in the form of almost 200 photographs.--Pride Source This handsome publication presents legendary American photographer Berenice Abbott's work in three categories: her portraits, photographs of the city and scientific photographs.--L'Oeil de la Photographie Abbott has never been heralded as one of the defining giants of 20th-century photography. [...] The new monograph Berenice Abbott: Portraits of Modernity may well change that.--Marisa Bartolucci 1stdibs
