Description
Norman shot this image from the window of Alfred Stieglitz’s An American Place gallery in New York shortly after his death. A photographer, gallerist, and major figure in the promotion of modern art and photography as a fine art, Stieglitz was Norman’s mentor, friend, lover, and photography teacher. In this image she was inspired by Stieglitz’s architectural views of Manhattan that focus on the abstract, geometric qualities of skyscrapers rather than their height.- The artist, New York, NY(Edwynn Houk Gallery, New York, NY)David Raymond [b.1979], New York, NY2009-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
