Description
The Luxembourg Bequest by Musée national d'histoire et d'art is a comprehensive scholarly publication that presents an extraordinary collection of 178 prints by Edward Steichen, including his personal photographs and works from various genres. For the first time, this extensive oeuvre is presented in full-page illustrations, accompanied by six new essays that explore questions of identification, techniques, and dating of the prints. The publication delves into the provenance and impact history of the collection, comparing its significance to other bequests made at the same time to institutions in the United States and overseas. The book also examines Steichen's special role as a mediator of Modernism between Europe and the New World, particularly through his large number of family photographs. Texts by five authors provide new insights into the collection, shedding light on its conservation and preservation, and the techniques used to date and identify the prints. This publication offers a unique opportunity for photography enthusiasts and scholars alike to engage with Steichen's remarkable body of work.
