Art in a Minute Celebrating Women's History Month Berenice Abbott's West Street |
|
| Berenice Abbott (1898-1991) is one of the most accomplished artists in the history of American photography, and is best known for her powerful images of New York City. West Street belongs to the series “Changing New York,” in which Abbott documented the city for the Federal Works Progress Administration as part of FDR’s New Deal. Abbott composed an image of the interplay of geometric forms and condensed space in the Financial District. Eventually, these buildings on West Street and adjacent buildings were demolished in the 1970s for the construction of the World Trade Center complex and today is the site of the 9/11 Memorial. |
