Product Description

Synopsis

Berenice Abbott's Changing New York project, circa 1939, created a majestic documentation of Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs. Since 1997, Douglas Levere has been returning to the original sites with the identical camera Abbott used, an 8X10 Century Universal, shooting those sites at the same time of day and year. The resulting images show the city's evolution over 65 years. With a preface by the author and an introduction by Bonnie Yochelson (consulting curator and former Curator of Prints and Photographs, Museum of the City of New York and editor of Berenice Abbott: Changing New York)

5.0 out of 5 stars Double take, 9 Jul 2006
By Robin Benson - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      



Then and now photobooks of American cities are steady bookshop sellers but it is not until you turn over the pages of 'New York Changing' that you'll realise that this is how it should be done. Douglas Levere, with help from Berenice Abbott, has created a brilliant photo record of the world's premier city.

To start with Abbott created the perfect architectural record with the 1935 to 1939 WPA sponsored project when she shot just over three hundred photos of the city (you can see two hundred of these in 'Berenice Abbott: Changing New York', ISBN 1565845560) and Levere has retaken over a hundred of these with eighty-one appearing in his book.

Unlike other inferior books of the genre Levere has taken the utmost care with his project. Not only using the same type of camera and lens as Abbott but waiting until the same season and time of day to freeze the moment six decades later. A fascinating page of technical details at the back of the book explains more. The eighty-one photos are divided into four chapters with the majority taken in Manhattan. On each spread Abbott's photo is on the left and Levere's opposite, Bonnie Yochelson writes a straightforward caption for all of the images.

With the help of 200dpi printing, quality paper and elegant design these photos (and the book) look just stunning. The perfect photobook!
