About the Photographer: Berenice Abbott (1898 – 1991) returned to the United States in 1929 after several years abroad to find New York City a modern and rapidly evolving city. For the next decade Abbott worked on a project documenting these dramatic changes. In 1935 the Federal Arts Project of the Works Progress Administration agreed to support this project, aptly titled Changing New York. This work resulted in an extensive record of New York’s build environment containing over 700 images that are part of the Museum of the City of New York’s collection.
