In the life of Alfred Stieglitz
The whole life1929
O'Keeffe leaves for New Mexico
In 1929 O'Keeffe moved to New Mexico, where she created her famous series of desert landscapes and gained recognition and financial security. When she returned to New York, Stieglitz's affair with his pupil Dorothy Norman was over, but they could not restore their former relationship.
May 1929
His gallery to be demolished: depression at Lake George
In early 1929 Stieglitz was told that the building housing his gallery would be torn down. After a final show of Demuth's work in May he retreated to Lake George exhausted and depressed, and when the Strands raised nearly sixteen thousand dollars for a new gallery he reacted harshly, saying it was time for the “young ones” to do some of the work.
15 December 1929
Opens An American Place
On December 15, 1929, Stieglitz opened An American Place, the largest gallery he had ever managed, with the first darkroom of his own in the city. For sixteen years he showed his friends Marin, Demuth, Hartley, Dove and Strand there, and O'Keeffe received at least one major exhibition each year.
