In the life of Alfred Stieglitz

The whole life

early 1921
Exhibition at the Anderson Galleries: 146 prints
At the invitation of Mitchell Kennerley, in early 1921 Stieglitz hung his first one-man exhibition since 1913: of the 146 prints only 17 had been seen before, and 46 were of O'Keeffe, many of them nudes, with the model unidentified. In the catalogue he made his famous declaration: “I was born in Hoboken. I am an American. Photography is my passion. The search for Truth my obsession.”
early 1923
O'Keeffe's show: twenty paintings sold
O'Keeffe's show opened in early 1923, and Stieglitz spent much of the spring marketing her work; eventually twenty of her paintings sold for more than $3,000.
late 1924
27 photographs for the Boston Museum of Fine Arts
At the end of 1924 Stieglitz donated 27 photographs to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the first time a major museum included photographs in its permanent collection.
11 December 1924
Married: Georgia O'Keeffe
1929
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.
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.
