Students in Photographic Preservation and Collections Management—the George Eastman Museum's joint graduate program with the University of Rochester—will present their research. Their topics include the Colorama archive, black photographers represented in the museum's photography collection, and three-dimensional objects in the museum's photography collection.
Over a professional life spanning seven decades, Edward Steichen (1879–1973) established himself as one of the most important figures in the history of photography. What is less known is that for much of that time, Steichen devoted himself to the nurturing of plants and gardens, an activity that sustained him and through which he developed ardently held beliefs regarding the relationship of art, nature, and creativity.
