Kress & Co. five-and-dime in Phoenix (1933).

Steichen, now settled in Paris with a studio on the Left Bank, was dividing his time between painting and photography. His rise to international fame was swift; he had his first one-man exhibition in 1901 in Paris, mastered the gum-bichromate process, and excelled in multiple printing in several colors.

The exhibition will take place between 10 March - 22 April 2006. |
