An American Place

New York gallery founded by Alfred Stieglitz in 1929 after the closing of his Intimate Gallery. It became a celebrated venue for modern art. Painters like Marsden Hartley, Arthur Dove, John Marin, and Georgia O'Keeffe were regularly shown. Surprisingly, only a few purely photographic exhibitions were held between the opening of the Intimate Gallery in 1925 and the closing of An American Place in 1946—a reflection of Stieglitz's broad interest in modernism generally, not just photography. Other than shows of his own work, Stieglitz exhibited Paul Strand in 1932, Ansel Adams in 1936, and Eliot Porter in 1938.
