Scholarly Remarks and Key Set Data
Remarks
This photograph and Key Set numbers 1377 and 1378 show the construction of the Hotel and Industrial Mart at 515 Madison Avenue, completed in late summer 1931 (see Photographic Views of New York City, 1870s–1970s, no. 902.C3). These three photographs were made before Stieglitz left for Lake George on 16 June 1931. The titles are based on those of similar works exhibited in 1932.
