Kurzbeschreibung
Few individuals have exerted as profound an influence on 20th-century American art and culture as Alfred Stieglitz (1846-1964). This two-volume boxed set is the catalogue of the Alfred Stieglitz Collection of Photographs at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, the most complete Stieglitz holding in the world, donated to the gallery by his widow, the artist Georgia O'Keeffe. Numbering 1642 photographs, the collection represents the full range of the master photographer's work - from early studies made in Europe to views of the majestic New York skyline to intimate portraits of O'Keeffe. Coinciding with a travelling exhibition and providing complete scholarly apparatus and a chronology, these volumes demonstrate how Stieglitz absorbed the advanced artistic concepts of his time into photography and transformed the medium.

Not only does Sarah Greenough write enchantedly about Stieglitz and his time, not only can she make history come alive by re-enacting the original artwork of master Stieglitz himself - with this > 1600 picture heavyweight has she given us one of the most inspiring and impressed gifts someone interested in photography can get his/her hands on.
There really is not much to say about these two volumes - there is far more to look at. The prints come in different formats at times, showing how the shots that came out of the camera were turned into the masterpieces of a real seer.
(Take 'Winter, 5th avenue' for example. I always loved this shot, but now that I know the original from 1892 and can distinguish it from what was published in 1905, its even more satisfying. The processes behind the making add so much to the lifeliness - and this even though the many photographs abund with vividness anyway!)
The paper is strong enough to make for a valuable key set which you'll even enjoy after decades - then in your rocker, if you'll be sturdy enough to handle the weight.
I do not regret a single cent spent on this one - so, if you're really interested in the work of Alfred Stieglitz or if you've been in love with him for some time anyway, don't waste any more time on pondering whether you should go for it. No doubt: you absolutely should.

Outstanding set, fine quality reproductions
31. Oktober 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a major contribution to the field of artistic photography and art history, and frankly, I am not sure what the previous reviewer was looking at or for when giving this award-winning set one out of five stars (it was rated "outstanding art publication of the year" by the Art Libraries Society of North America in 2002).
Greenough's 2-volume set is a standout in numerous ways. For starters, it is the first retrospective work that has attempted to establish some kind of chronological order to Stieglitz's photographs (many of his major works were never dated previously). Why is this important? Stieglitz was extremely influential not only as an artist but as a technician, introducing new photo cropping and printing methods at a time when photography was just starting out as a field of study. Without dates for his photographs, it had previously been impossible to determine for certain whether Stieglitz was employing (or improving upon) techniques that were already out there, or if he was forging ahead into unknown territory.
The scholarship undertaken here is impressive: in addition to the dating of all the material, Greenough provides copious notes about the images, including invaluable information about the reproduction process. There is a detalied appendix, bibliography, index, and concordances, as well as information of other Stieglitz photographs in other collections.
Apart from the scholarship, however, what makes this set standout is the quality and quantity of the images. There are over 1600 photographs in this set, and only about a third of them had ever been reproduced before. Many of the images here are print variants that Stieglitz produced from the same negative, showing how he experimented with printing (using carbon, platinum, gelatin silver, and palladium among other materials) as well as cropping/orientating/mounting of his prints. These images give us a more complete picture Stieglitz's thought processes in terms of his art, his experimental nature, and the methods he employed in presenting his vision to the world.

magnifying glass not included

As a serious amateur photographer and lover of historical photographs, I waited anxiously for the (Christmas gift) set to arrive - only to be disappointed. Many images are only 3 or 4 inches on the long side. There is also much wasted blank space on many pages. Would it have cost that much more in ink to make the images large enough to appreciate?? And Volume II has more images of clouds than a meteorology book - perhaps 25 percent or so of the total. I would really recommend finding someone who has a copy of the set and make sure it's really what you want before ordering. I received much more pleasure from the images in the "Camera Work: the Complete Photographs" book Amazon sells for $10. If you like Stiegitz and the pictorialists, then "Camera Work" is a must-have.

A museum in your home!
3. April 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
An important contribution to the history of photography, this book is a monumental task in cataloging and comparing Stieglitz's opus. At 1000 pages (including index, bibliography etc), it is massive, but so is the quality of the binding, the printing, the paper. A pleasure to hold in your hand (if you can lift it!).
Regarding the content, it really is an almost complete history of Stieglitz's photography including the mundane and experimental photography (endless pictures of clouds). What I find interesting are the subtle variations in photos as well as prints of the same picture for a different effect. If you are a student, I hope you can afford it. If you are a scholar and a historian, all of photography's early greats are there, and if you are a lover a photographer like me then you really will enjoy the whole experience. These books are as much reference as "coffee book", so they will keep on giving you for many years to come.
