Camera Work, No. 48
Alfred Stieglitz American
Not on view
The photographic journal Camera Work was first published in 1903 under the direction of Alfred Stieglitz.. Following the launch of his gallery 291 in 1905, the journal served as a major vehicle for expanding upon the gallery’s activities. In efforts to promote modernism, he sought to present a multiplicity of forms and a combination of different media, as is apparent in these photographs recording four exhibition "arrangements" at 291 in 1914-15. Featured at top left is a view of what he considered "possibly the most important show we have ever had," the exhibition "Statuary in Wood by African Savages: The Root of Modern Art" (November 3–December 8, 1914).
