Alfred Steiglitz New York December 2, 2010

For the first time in nearly 80 years, legendary early twentieth century photographer Alfred Stieglitz's iconic New York City photographs will be displayed together as part of the groundbreaking, new exhibition 'Alfred Stieglitz New York.' Featuring 39 vintage Stieglitz photographs, it is organized into three galleries. The first evokes the spirit of 291, Stieglitz's pioneering gallery, which cemented his reputation as an impresario of European modern art. It will include a facsimile of a lantern slide show, the first time Stieglitz's lantern slides have ever been exhibited - and prints from 1893 to 1916. The second gallery presents portraits taken from the windows of his midtown Manhattan apartment and gallery in the 1930s, when Stieglitz re-engaged New York as a subject for his photography. The third and final gallery examines the explosion of imagery of New York in popular culture and fine arts, including works by renowned photographers Paul Strand, Lewis Hine and Berenice Abbott.
