NYC Flatiron building by Steichen<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Wow! Just over a century ago Steichen photographed the then recently completed ‘flatiron’ b<\/em>uilding in NYC\u00a0<\/span>(so called from its shape – we have a similar building here). <\/em><\/p>\n

According to the article,<\/em> “Edward Steichen\u2019s The Flatiron<\/em><\/a>, an iconic photo of New York, has sold for $11.8 million, making it the second-most expensive photograph ever sold.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently only three prints were ever made by Steichen. The tonality and mood of the print showed that photography could be used for artistic rendering. A fine example of the ‘pictorialism’ \u00a0trend of the period.<\/p>\n

My thanks to my good friend, George Dunbar, who discovered this article recently on the petapixel<\/a>\u00a0website and shared it with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
