Fred Beans Gallery 2003 marked the 100th anniversary of Camera Work, one of the most important publications in the history of American art. Founded and edited by the renowned photographer and curator Alfred Stieglitz, Camera Work was the prestigious journal of the Photo-Secession, a group created by Stieglitz to promote the idea of photography as an art form. The journal published pictures and critical essays by major photographers and writers of the day and was the first publication in America to champion the work of many now-legendary artists including Picasso, Matisse, and Rodin. Organized by the Michener Art Museum and curated by noted photographer and editor Stephen Perloff, this exhibition featured many original gravure prints from Camera Work as well as rare, original issues of the journal itself.
