Bonnie Yochelson, Berenice Abbott: Changing New York (The Museum of the City of New York, 1997), pl. 28

"Classic and vintage photography has always been our lodestone. For almost 40 years, Howard and generations of gallery specialists have strived to build a market for this historic category, alongside our AIPAD colleagues. Both Dorothea Lange and Berenice Abbott represent the best of this classical tradition; major museum retrospectives as recently as the past year signify their importance to the medium of photography." - Karen Marks
