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.
