In conjunction with Steichen’s work, the gallery is also pleased to present 12 rarely seen George Tice photographs in our new print room along with his classic signature image, “Petit’s Mobil Station, Cherry Hill, NJ, 1974.”
George Tice came to Steichen’s attention when he saw Tice’s dramatic photograph of an explosion aboard the U.S.S. Wasp on the front page of the New York Times and acquired it for MoMA’s collection. Tice was 20 years old at the time.
After Steichen’s death in 1973, Tice continued to work on Steichen projects. In 1997, Steichen’s widow Joanna engaged Tice to print all the photographs for her retrospective memoir “Steichen’s Legacy” released in conjunction with the Whitney Museum’s 2000 Steichen retrospective. These prints have never been exhibited until now.
