Edward Steichen's 1936 exhibition of delphinium blooms

Abstract

Abstract ‘The President and the Trustees of the Museum of Modern Art invite you to an exhibition of Steichen Delphiniums.’ So began the announcement of one of the most unusual and least understood exhibitions of MoMA's history. MoMA's press release described a one-man, one-week show ‘of remarkable new varieties of delphinium developed through twenty-six years of cross breeding and selection by Edward Steichen … his purpose is to develop the ultimate aesthetic possibilities of the delphinium’.1
