Barbara Karant was granted exclusive access to the Johnson Publishing Company’s Michigan Avenue building after the company sold it in 2010. Her portrait of the most influential Black media company of the 20th century contains the residual textures, patterns, and structures of the abandoned Ebony and Jet offices, which were the height of chic when they were designed in the early 1970s. Karant’s images represent both the spirit of this publishing empire and the sense of its loss.
