The Georgia O'Keeffe Foundation has honored the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum with an extraordinary gift of 24 photographs by Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), the internationally known photographer and America's earliest champion of modern art.
The Foundation's gift to the museum represents various aspects of Stieglitz's outstanding achievement. There are 12 photographs of O'Keeffe that range in date from 1917, the year he began photographing her, to 1935, two years before failing health forced him into retirement. Several of these depict O'Keeffe with samples of her art that are now part of the Museum's collection. Moreover, the gift includes photographs of New York buildings, the trees and architecture of Lake George, and six prints from Stieglitz's celebrated "Equivalents" series.
