Author: Steichen, EdwardIn 1985, the National Museum of Luxembourg unexpectedly received a generous bequest from the estate of the world-renowned photographer Edward Steichen. This bequest comprised a total of 178 prints, 175 of which were by Steichen himself. These prints cover all aspects of his photographic oeuvre. This title presents this extraordinary collection in a comprehensive and scholarly treatment for the first time. Replete with full-page illustrations of all 178 photographs, the publication includes six new essays by five authors that examine the provenance and historical significance of the Luxembourg donation, as well as Steichen’s special role as a transmitter of modernism from Europe to America.ISBN 9788836651559.
