The Bitter Years, Edward Steichen’s historic collection, a dialogue with contemporary photography
The Centre national de l’audiovisuel de Dudelange (CNA) is opening a new photographic space. On Septemer 29, 2012, the CAN will inaugurate Waassertuerm and Pomhouse, two exhibition spaces in a most unusual location – a water tower (Waassertuerm) and a pump house (Pomhouse) – as part of the CNA’s expansion project to a former iron factory.
Edward Steichen was born in 1879 in Bivange, Luxembourg. The two MoMA collections were offered by the Luxembourg government at Steichen’s request.
