Works on Paper Highlights Talk: Berenice Abbott Bonus Selection
American-born, Parisian-trained Berenice Abbott (1898–1991) is one of the most skillful and celebrated documentary photographers of the twentieth century. Grace Hanselman, curatorial assistant for works on paper, presents a marvelous sampling of portrait and architectural photographs that simply could not fit on the walls of Berenice Abbott’s Modern Lens.
This event is part of a series of Works on Paper Highlights Talks in the Manton Study Center for Works on Paper, which houses the Clark's collection of more than 6,500 prints, drawings, and photographs. Each week, discover a unique selection of rarely exhibited works on paper with a member of the curatorial department. Offered Wednesdays in the end of July and through August from 1–1:30 pm.
Free. Capacity is limited. Seating is first-come, first-served.
The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper is located next to the Berenice Abbott’s Modern Lens exhibition in the Manton Research Center.
