About the Publication: The Stieglitz Memorial Portfolio, 1864–1946, published in 1947 by Twice a Year Press in New York, stands as one of the most significant commemorative photographic projects of the mid-twentieth century. Conceived as an academic fine art tribute rather than a commercial portfolio, the publication sought to honor Alfred Stieglitzs groundbreaking contributions to the evolution of photography as a modern art form. The portfolio presents a high-fidelity photogravure process based on Stieglitzs original negatives and photographic prints, preserving the tonal subtlety, atmospheric richness, and emotional acuity that defined his oeuvre. Printed by the renowned Lakeside Press in Chicago—celebrated for its technical precision and mastery of photogravure—this edition reflects the collaborative ambitions of institutions, printers, and scholars committed to sustaining Stieglitzs artistic legacy. The portfolio functioned not only as a memorial but also as an educational and cultural document, introducing a wider public to the breadth of his achievements and reinforcing photographys position within the hierarchy of fine arts. Today, the Stieglitz Memorial Portfolio remains highly prized among collectors, historians, and institutions for its exceptional production quality, historical importance, and its role in preserving one of the foundational bodies of work in American photographic history. About the Artist: Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) was an American photographer, publisher, curator, and cultural architect whose sweeping influence on the development, elevation, and global recognition of photography as a legitimate fine art makes him one of the most pivotal figures in the history of modern visual culture, reshaping the mediums trajectory with emotionally charged Pictorialist masterworks, the groundbreaking Equivalents series—the first fully abstract photographic project—and hundreds of psychologically rich portraits of Georgia OKeeffe that revealed unprecedented depth between artist, subject, and lens; his career unfolded in dialogue with many of the worlds most valuable photographers, and he directly nurtured or inspired artists, including Edward Steichen, Paul Strand, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham, Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Berenice Abbott, Andre Kertesz, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray, Bill Brandt, Robert Frank, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Diane Arbus, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Cindy Sherman, Andreas Gursky, Jeff Wall, Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff, Gregory Crewdson, Sebastiao Salgado, Nan Goldin, and Wolfgang Tillmans; his intellectual and artistic world expanded through deep exchanges with Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, introducing New York to European modernism through his 291 Gallery and establishing photography within the broader ecosystem of Cubism, Surrealism, and abstraction; as founder of the Photo-Secession and editor of Camera Work, Stieglitz shaped global photographic discourse, launched the careers of major artists, and set critical standards that still guide the medium, while his own works—poetic snow scenes, intimate portraits, atmospheric city views, and metaphysical cloud abstractions—entered the worlds leading institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the J. Paul Getty Museum; the highest auction record for Alfred Stieglitz was achieved on April 4, 2022, when Gable Roofs, Lake George sold for 1,050,000 USD at Sothebys New York, reaffirming his status as one of the most historically important and sought-after photographers in the global art market.

Untitled ("Motion-Sound" Landscape)
By Ralph Eugene Meatyard
Located in New York, NY
From a portfolio of ten gelatin silver prints from original Meatyard negatives (1959-71) Printed April 1974 Edition of 130 Credit stamp, verso 7 x 7 inches, image 15 x 12 inches, mount This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. “Meatyard searched continually for a non-objective art that would be wordless poetry, spontaneous music without sound. The ‘Motion-Sound’ pictures of his later years brought Meatyard’s passion for music and, paradoxically, the silence of Zen Buddhism together in photography. In creating the series, he focused the camera on a natural scene (or one containing plain rural architecture) and then moved it slightly. The result of this action is an image that suggests sound while abstracting natural forms. The landscapes of the ‘Motion-Sound’ series are in stark contrast to the evocative, more traditional views of the Red River Gorge that Meatyard was executing during the same years.” —Judith Keller, Ralph Eugene Meatyard (London: Phaidon Press Limited, 2002), p. 122 An optician by trade, Ralph Eugene Meatyard was a self-described “dedicated amateur” photographer. He pursued his own vision to produce an exquisitely enigmatic, widely admired body of work. Meatyard began taking photographs in 1950, roaming the backwoods and towns in Kentucky, experimenting with framing, multiple exposures, and blurring to produce haunting, abstracted images of natural and manmade environments. In the late 1950s, he began incorporating monstrous, oversized latex masks...

Shaker Interior, Sabbathday Lake, Maine Silver print, selenium toned, 1971 Signed in pencil lower right (see photo) Titled verso (see photo) Printed c. 1971 Condition: Excellent Image: 6 1/2 x 9 3/8 inches Frame: 14 x 17 inches Original Kulicke welded frame George A. Tice, born in Newark, New Jersey, United States, October 13, 1938, the son of a college-educated New Jerseyan, William S. Tice, and Margaret Robertson, a Traveller of Irish, Scottish, and Welsh stock with a fourth-grade education. George was raised by his mother, maintaining regular visiting contact with his father, whose influence and advice he valued highly. Education His first contact with photography was in the albums of family photographs belonging to his father, and this gave him the desire to create images of his own. George Tice began with a Kodak Brownie. In 1953, having bought a Kodak Pony, which gave him some control over exposure and focus, and a Kodak developing kit, he began to advance his craft. George Tice also joined the Carteret Camera Club. Tice's photographs of homeless men on the Bowery won second place in the black and white print competitions. George Tice decided at this point to make photography his career. In 1955 George Tice attended the Newark Vocational and Technical High School, where he briefly studied commercial photography under Harve Wobbe. When he turned sixteen, he quit school and took a job as a darkroom assistant for Classic Photo, a portrait studio in Newark. He also worked as a stock boy at Kreske's Department Store in Newark, then as an office boy in the circulation department of the Newark Evening News. In 1956 George Tice enlisted in the United States Navy, in which he rose to the rank of Photographer's Mate Third Class. After boot camp and two years at Naval Air Station Memphis, he was transferred to sea duty aboard the aircraft carrier, USS Wasp...
