The project will culminate in the spring of 2002 in an exhibition of rarely seen photographs by Stieglitz from the Gallery's collection. The National Gallery of Art's Alfred Stieglitz Collection, the most complete holding of the photographer's work in existence, includes 1,600 photographs donated to the Gallery in 1949 and 1980 by Georgia O'Keeffe, the photographer's wife. The collection, spanning Stieglitz's entire career from the 1880s to the 1930s, contains the finest example of every mounted print in Stieglitz's possession at the time of his death. The National Gallery of Art and Sculpture Garden, located on the National Mall between Third and Ninth Streets at Constitution Avenue, NW, is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5.p.m. The Gallery is closed on 25 December and 1 January.
Admission is free.
