Few individuals have exerted as profound an influence on 20th-century American art and culture as Alfred Stieglitz (1846-1964). This two-volume boxed set is the catalogue of the Alfred Stieglitz Collection of Photographs at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, the most complete Stieglitz holding in the world, donated to the gallery by his widow, the artist Georgia O'Keeffe. Numbering 1642 photographs, the collection represents the full range of the master photographer's work - from early studies made in Europe to views of the majestic New York skyline to intimate portraits of O'Keeffe. Coinciding with a travelling exhibition and providing complete scholarly apparatus and a chronology, these volumes demonstrate how Stieglitz absorbed the advanced artistic concepts of his time into photography and transformed the medium.
