Heinrich Kuehn and His American Circle: Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen

“Heinrich Kuehn and His American Circle: Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen” focuses on the luminous work of this important Austrian photographer. The early pictorial work of photographer Heinrich Kuehn (1866–1944) was highly influential in turn-of-the-century circles; his work was exhibited at the Vienna Secession. Gradually, Kuehn incorporated the influence of his peers, and moved in the direction of Modernist photography. He was also among the first important photographers to create color images.

The exhibition aims to situate Kuehn with regard to both the Viennese avant-garde and the international development of photography as an art form. It explores the close friendship among Kuehn and major American photographers Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen. Photographic prints and autochromes by Kuehn are included in the exhibition.

The organizing curator for the project is Dr. Monika Faber, a distinguished scholar of photography.
