historical notes 291 opened in 1905, at 291 Fifth Avenue, and closed in 1917. The gallery promoted artists, among others, Max Weber, John Marin, Charles Demuth, Arthur Dove, Marden Hartley, Georgia O'Keeffe, Paul Strand, Edward Steichen, and the work of the galleries owner, Alfred Stieglitz.

291 introduced Americans to the Modernism of painting, sculpture, and especially photography in the work of Stieglitz himself, and his partner, Edward Steichen.
