Camera Work: A Photographic Quarterly (1905 (Heft 12))

EXHIBITION NOTES.
THE PHOTO-SECESSION.
IT HAD been planned by the Photo-Secession to hold in New York, early
next spring, an exhibition, consisting of the very best that has been accom-
plished in pictorial photography, from the time of Hill up to date, in the
various countries. Many of the prints have been selected for the purpose,
but, owing to the impossibility of securing at any price adequate gallery
accommodations during the desirable New York season, the exhibition is
held in abeyance.
The Photo-Secession, for the present thus unable to hold the proposed
big exhibition, has determined to present in detail some of the work which
had already been selected and which would have been embraced therein, and
for that purpose has leased rooms at 291 Fifth Avenue, New York City,
where will be shown continuous fortnightly exhibitions of from thirty to forty
prints each. These small but very select shows will consist not only of
American pictures never before publicly shown in any city in this country,
but also of Austrian, German, British, and French photographs, as well as
such other art-productions, other than photographic, as the Council of the
Photo-Secession will from time to time secure.
These rooms will be opened to the public generally without charge, and
the exhibitions will commence about November first.
Fuller announcements will be made later. It is planned to make these
rooms headquarters for all Secessionists.
THE LONDON SALON AND THE UNITED STATES.
On July 28, the American Links gathered at the Secession head-
quarters to pass upon the pictures submitted by the American workers
for the London Salon. Notwithstanding the very late notice sent out by
the Linked Ring, approximately four hundred frames were submitted to the
American Jury, and the requisite seventy-five—the limit imposed by the
Linked Ring upon the American Section—were duly selected. In our
opinion the average of merit of the accepted pictures was exceedingly high,
and we feel convinced that no better American collection has ever been
shown in London.
The photographers who had pictures accepted are: C. Yarnall Abbott,
John G. Bullock, Annie W. Brigman, Alice Boughton, Alvin Langdon
Coburn, W. B. Dyer, R. Eickemeyer, Jr., Frank Eugene, Mr. Fraprie, F.
Benedict Herzog, William F. James, Gertrude Käsebier, Joseph T. Keiley,
John Dolman, Landon Rives, Harry C. Rubincam, Sarah C. Sears, George
H. Seeley, Mary R. Stanbery, Eduard J. Steichen, John Francis Strauss,
Alfred Stieglitz, and Clarence H. White.
THE EXHIBITION OF L’EFFORT, BRUSSELS.
As a matter of record it may interest our readers to know that at the
Annual Exhibition held in Brussels, under auspices of that very live and
artistic body, “Societé L'Effort," the Photo-Secession was represented by
thirty-three pictures. This collection represented America.
