Berenice Abbott's Circle Exhibition - Laurence Miller Gallery

Laurence Miller Gallery Exhibition Sept 10 - Oct 11, 2003

Berenice Abbott's Circle: New York/Paris
Portraits by Berenice Abbott

From September 10 through October 11, 2003 Laurence Miller Gallery will exhibit twenty Berenice Abbott portraits taken in both Paris and New York in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. During her early years Abbott functioned as a primary portraitist among the cultural avant-garde, photographing artists, literary figures, models, society ladies, musicians and art dealers. Among the group are portraits of James Joyce, Djuna Barnes, Eugene Atget, Jean Cocteau and Isamu Noguchi. These thoughtful and often playful images invite viewers into Abbott’s circle of friends, lovers and fellow artists during provocative periods of creative freedom.
