LIVES IN PHOTOGRAPHY – EDWARD STEICHEN

When we talk about Edward Steichen (Luxembourg, 1879 – Umpawa, United States, 1973) we are in fact talking about a large part of the History of Photography. Photographer, painter, publisher, businessman and MoMA curator, he was dubbed “the best photographer of all time”. The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía presents, for the first time in Spain, a retrospective of Steichen, who was considered the first well-known name in photography in the early 20th century when the medium was not regarded as an artistic discipline.
Organized by the Musée de l’Élysée and the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography, the exhibition offers an overview of the photographer’s seventy-year career. Containing over 300 original photographs on loan from public and private collections in Europe and the United States -portraits, nudes, landscapes, cityscapes, fashion, advertising, dance, theatre and war and complemented by a large amount of documentary material (catalogues, copies of Vogue and Vanity Fair, etc.) the installation recreates the different periods in the artist’s career.
