March 27, 1993 - May 30, 1993
Gertrude Käsebier (1852-1934) was a key figure in the American fine-art photography movement at the turn of the century. Featured in the
first and tenth issues (1903, 1905) of Alfred Stieglitz's influential
, Käsebier's work helped define the aesthetic of the
Photo-Secession group. Her allegories, genre scenes, and landscapes were widely admired, as were the portraits she made in her Fifth Avenue
studio. This exhibition of approximately forty prints, organized by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, surveys the range and variety of
Käsebier's achievement, giving new emphasis to the work she made after 1910.
