Ground-breaking and bold, the North American photographer Berenice Abbott served as a bridge between the cultural circles of Paris and New York in the 1920s and 1930s. The concept of modernity infuses all of Abbott's work, from her portraits of the most cutting-edge artists and intellectuals of the moment, through to the breathtaking views of New York, as well as her scientific-themed photographs in which she captures the results of diverse phenomena and experiments. It is also a reflection of the modernity of Abbott herself, of her ground-breaking and bold personality. The exhibition is arranged into three thematic sections, Portraits, New York and Science, and covers her career by means of almost two hundred vintage photographs.
