He worked closely with Georgia Oï¿½Keeffe and gathered a group of 152 photographs that represent the full range of Stieglitz's ideology and career. He also collected objects largely unique to the Eastman House, including lantern slides, autochromes, and cameras. The publication of this book coincided with a traveling exhibition that opened in summer of 2000 not only to document the Stieglitz collection at George Eastman House but also to explore O'Keeffe's role in the shaping and preservation of Stieglitz's legacy. The artistic collaboration between Stieglitz and O'Keeffe is well documented--she was the subject of many of his most important photographs. What is less well understood is their collaboration on the preservation of photography and their concern for the role of the institution in educating the public. This book presents Stieglitz's work in a new light and offers a new analysis of one of the greatest partnerships in the history of art. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - What I got I bought this book based on the previous customer's review. While I think it is an excellent book I want to correct what is, I feel, some incorrect information. The book does have over a hundered of Stieglitz's prints but most of them are thumbnails. There are only 42 full size photograghic plates in the books, not over a hundred. Rating: - The duotones and works are beautifully presented This presentation of the works of a 20th century photographer who worked with Georgia O'Keeffe and others presents over a hundred photos from his career. While it accompanies a traveling exhibition, Photography of Alfred Stieglitz stands alone as a excellent compilation of photos and essays which probe Stieglitz's perspective. The duotones and works are beautifully presented, centered against a white backdrop of edges which work as a frame for the art.
