STIEGLITZ (Alfred). - Lot 275

STIEGLITZ (Alfred). Alfred Stieglitz. Photographs & Writings. Texts by Sarah Greenough and Juan Hamilton. Washington, National Gallery of Art / Callaway Editions, 1992. Large quarto, paperback. An important monograph published in conjunction with the major retrospective organized by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., bringing together a vast selection of photographs, texts, and writings by Alfred Stieglitz. The book traces the entire career of one of the founding figures of modern American photography: from his early Pictorialist masterpieces to images of rigorous modernity, including his famous portraits of Georgia O’Keeffe, the *Equivalents*, and views of New York. Stieglitz’s numerous texts, reproduced alongside the works, shed light on his aesthetic philosophy, his decisive role in establishing photography as an art form, and his work as a gallery owner at “291,” where he championed artists such as Rodin, Matisse, Picasso, and Cézanne. A leading reference on Stieglitz, this book remains one of the most comprehensive overviews of his work and his influence on the history of 20th-century photography. Condition: well-used copy; cover shows significant scuffing, soiling, small tears, and paper loss, with worn caps and edges; interior is fresh and complete.
