This new<br />interactive collection focus brings to the public high-quality<br />reproductions of all 244 photographs in the Stieglitz Collection: 159<br />by Stieglitz himself, and others by Ansel Adams, Paul Strand, Edward<br />Steichen, and many others in his circle. It contains in-depth<br />information assembled by conservators, curators, and other<br />researchers.<br /><br />Among its features are:<br /> - new conservation analysis on each work, with 44 receiving in-depth<br /> examination<br /> - over 900 images, including new object photography, contextual images,<br /> and photomicrographs<br /> - a scholarly essay about the collection's history and entry into the<br /> Art Institute<br /> - essays on the twenty-one artists featured in its holdings<br /> - historical entries on the three galleries Stieglitz ran, and the two<br /> journals he edited<br /> - explanations of twelve separate photographic processes<br /> - context for nine different series within Stieglitz’s own photography<br /> - seven thematic essays linking the works<br /> - high-quality image downloads, and a downloadable PDF with information<br /> on each object<br>

You can sort, filter, download, explore, and share. Please take a<br />minute to play with it, and pass it along to your friends and<br />colleagues: <a href="http://media.artic.edu/stieglitz/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://media.artic.edu/stieglitz/</a></p>
