Pendant ce temps, chez Alfred Stieglitz
La vie entière1902
Founds the Photo-Secession
In December 1901 Charles DeKay of the National Arts Club invited Stieglitz to put together an exhibition with “full power to follow his own inclinations”. Within two months he had assembled prints from a close circle of friends and, in homage to the Munich photographers, called the group the Photo-Secession, a secession not only from the artistic restrictions of the era but from the official oversight of the Camera Club.
1902
First issue of Camera Work
Having fully left Camera Notes, in December 1902 Stieglitz published the first issue of the independent magazine Camera Work, with hand-pulled photogravures, criticism and essays on art (other accounts date it from 1903). The gravures were so fine that when a set of prints failed to arrive for a Photo-Secession exhibition in Brussels, gravures from the magazine were hung instead, and most viewers took them for the original photographs.
25 November 1905
The 291 gallery opens on Fifth Avenue
On November 25, 1905, the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession opened at 291 Fifth Avenue with one hundred prints by thirty-nine photographers; Edward Steichen had encouraged Stieglitz to lease the three rooms across from his own apartment. The gallery was an instant success, with almost fifteen thousand visitors in its first season and print sales of nearly $2,800, more than half of them Steichen's work.
