DAN ABRAMSON

Street Photography

Below is a small sample from his extensive collection of both color and black & white photography documenting 1960s NYC, including street scenes, protests, and significant cultural events. These photographs provide visual documentation of the era during which he was exhibiting alongside major artists like Rauschenberg and Warhol.

The "Street Photography" collection positions Abramson alongside noted masters of the field, such as Diane Arbus and Garry Winogrand, which clearly reinforces the historical importance and quality of his work. This section highlights Abramson’s unique ability to capture the 1960s scene, offering a visual corollary to the New York street photographers of the 60s.

Just as a novelist’s notebooks reveal the setting of their stories, Dan Abramson's extensive Street Photography serves as the visual diary of the 1960s New York art world, proving his place at the epicenter of cultural change while showcasing his distinct, uncompromising perspective as a photographer.

In Los Angeles, he followed in the tradition of Robert Rauschenberg, incorporating elements of his street photography into his artworks.
