Edward Steichen, Innsbruck, July 1907 -by Heinrich Kühn

This photograph “was made in Heinrich Kühn’s new townhouse in Innsbruck on July 30 or 31 of 1907.  This was Kühn’s first meeting with Steichen, who was touring  Bavaria in the company of Alfred Stieglitz and Frank Eugene.  Steichen had brought with him the first commercially-available autochrome plates, which intrigued Kühn, who later took up making autochromes with gusto.”

In 1949, Andy Warhol was a young artist grateful to have his work accepted by Harper’s Magazine. He wrote to editor Russell Lynes noting that his “life couldn’t fill a penny postcard” and that he was “moving from one roach infested apartment to another.” You’ve come a long way, Andy baby! Happy birthday.
