Berenice Abbott: The Woman Behind the Lens

Few people knew Berenice Abbott better than fellow photographer Hank O’Neal, who worked with her for the last nineteen years of her life. In this lecture, learn more about the fascinating woman behind the images from a man who knew her not only as a towering figure in the history of photography, but as a friend and mentor. O’Neal has authored several books about Berenice Abbott’s life and photography, and will soon release a memoir titled You’ve Got to Do a Damn Sight Better than That, Buster: Working with Berenice Abbott 1972–1991. This lecture is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Berenice Abbott’s Modern Lens.

Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524.
