NEW YORK CHANGING: DOUGLAS LEVERE REVISITS BERENICE
ABBOTT'S NEW YORK
New
York Changing: Douglas Levere Revisits Berenice Abbott’s
New York presents 50 pairs of photographs by contemporary
photographer Douglas Levere and world-renown photographer
Berenice Abbott. Abbott’s iconic photographs,
drawn from the Museum’s permanent collection,
were taken in the 1930s and first published in her landmark
book, Changing New York (1939). More than six decades
later, Levere used the same camera Abbott had used and
returned to the same locations at the same time of day
and the same time of year. Indeed, he took on the role
of detective as he successfully sought to understand
and replicate every aspect of Abbott’s process.
When seen side by side, these two remarkable bodies
of work reveal much about the city and the nature of
urban transformation. Perhaps more than anything
else, these carefully crafted images powerfully suggest
that in New York, the only constant is change.

CITY OF CHANGE explores the role of the skyscraper in

and skyline. It brings together a wide range of historic
construction photographs, maps, film clips, real estate
records, and urban views of lower Manhattan, as well
as documentary work by contemporary photographers, including
Douglas Levere. Linking past, present, and future, the
exhibit examines the construction of the World Trade
Center and the rebuilding at Ground Zero and highlights
the new construction and residential conversions underway
throughout the district.
