Eugène Atget's "Avenue des Gobelins" is a printing-out-paper photograph that documents a Parisian street with the photographer's characteristic documentary precision and atmospheric quality. The work bears the provenance stamp of Berenice Abbott, who acquired and championed Atget's archive after his death, preserving his legacy as a pioneer of modern photography. Atget's methodical approach to photographing Paris's streets, buildings, and shop windows created an invaluable visual record of early twentieth-century urban life.
