ALFRED STIEGLITZ (1864-1964)


Reflections: Night - New York * The Glow of Night - New York.
Together 2 photogravures, the images measuring 209.6x273.1 and 120.7x235 mm; 8 1/4x10 3/4 and 4 3/4x9 1/4 inches, the sheets 241.3x285.8 and 393.7x495.3 mm; 9 1/2x11 1/4 and 15 1/2x19 1/2 inches, each with Stieglitz's printed copyright and date, on recto. 1897.

Both of these photogravures appeared in Stieglitz's portfolio Picturesque Bits of New York And Other Studies, which dramatically highlighted the aesthetic clashes of the era and of Stieglitz's own work in realistic, glistening urban scenes.
