Imogen Cunningham, "Magnolia Blossom (Tower of Jewels)," 1925
Art Basel Editors' Picks: Berenice Abbott, Ilse Bing, Margaret Bourke-White, Imogen Cunningham
Edwynn Houk Gallery, Galleries sector, Hall 2.0 Booth B2
Among the many early 20th-century masterpieces presented by Edwynn Houk Gallery are works by four iconic photographers: Berenice Abbott, Ilse Bing, Margaret Bourke-White, and Imogen Cunningham. These women witnessed and documented the changes that characterized the 1920s and 1930s, all the while creating an intimate and personal corpus of work. By capturing busy streets and grandiose buildings, and in self-portraits, close-ups of the body, and suggestive details of flowers, they were some of the first photographers to immortalize the interiority and solitude of womanhood. -Juliette Amoros
