AFTER HIS death in 1946, his wife Georgia O'Keeffe carefully selected a handful of institutions to receive representative gifts of his work.
Her 1949 donation to the Philadelphia Museum of Art formed the foundation for the Museum’s renowned and ever-growing collection of photographs, now numbering around 29,000 images.
In addition to the group of Stieglitz images donated in 1949, the exhibition features art from the collection of photographer Dorothy Norman, a student and close associate of Stieglitz's, who donated her personal collection to the Museum and founded its Alfred Stieglitz Center in his honour.
