Mosette Broderick, a professor and the director of urban design and architecture studies at New York University, said that a landmark building like the Flatiron might also appeal to a European firm that wants a foothold in New York, finding the “vintage quality” of the building more appealing than a brand-new glass tower.

Shelley Rice to Lecture at Conference
17 JunThis lecture will describe the many facets of Edward Steichen – artist, commercial photographer, modern art impresario, curator, animator etc. – in order to place him (and them) within the context of early 20th century New York. The rise of mass media, the expansion of modern art practices and institutional infrastructures, the globalization of capitalism and visual culture: Steichen embraced all of these transformative social changes, and insisted on contributing to their dynamic development. Long obscured by Stieglitz’s obsession with art photography, Steichen’s multi-faceted talents and protean oeuvre can finally be seen as the trailblazing achievements that they are. In today’s postmodern social landscape, this photographer serves as a role model, and his career provides a road map for the 21st century artist intent on flourishing within our contemporary image-world.
