In the early twentieth century, Manhattan’s skyline transformed as steel skyscrapers rose above the city. For Alfred Stieglitz, New York City was an ever-changing source of inspiration. By the 1930s, Stieglitz abandoned street-level photography and instead took an aerial perspective. He used the nearly panoramic windows from his final art gallery, An American Place, to photograph the skyline through all seasons. The resulting collection of views shows a modern study of changes in light and shadow, lines, and shapes.
