En mars 1985, le Musée national du Luxembourg a reçu un généreux et inattendu legs de la succession d’Edward Steichen, l’immense photographe américain né au Luxembourg. Le legs comprend un total de 178 tirages, dont 175 photographies de Steichen lui-même qui couvrent presque tous les aspects de son œuvre photographique – des images empreintes du pictorialisme de ses débuts au portrait, la mode, la publicité, les paysages et les photographies de famille. Pour la première fois, cette extraordinaire collection est présentée de manière exhaustive, avec des illustrations en pleine page des 178 photographies. En outre, la publication comprend un volet scientifique exceptionnel : six nouveaux essais traitant des questions d’identification, de techniques et de datation des tirages ainsi que de leur conservation et de leur préservation. Ces textes retracent la provenance et l’histoire de l’impact de la collection et confrontent l’importance de la donation luxembourgeoise à d’autres legs faits à la même époque à des institutions aux États-Unis et outre-mer. L’importance du nombre étonnamment élevé de photographies de famille du legs luxembourgeois et le rôle exceptionnel de Steichen en tant que médiateur de la modernité entre l’Europe et le Nouveau Monde sont également explorés.

The extraordinary collection of Edward Steichen's photos,
received as bequest by National Museum of Luxembourg
In March 1985, the National Museum of Luxembourg unexpectedly received a generous bequest from the estate of Edward Steichen, the Luxembourg-born and world-renowned American photographer. The bequest comprises a total of 178 prints, including 175 photographs by Steichen himself that cover almost all aspects of his photographic oeuvre - from the pictorialist images of his early years to portraiture, fashion, advertising, landscapes, and family photographs.
For the first time, this extraordinary collection is presented in a comprehensive scholarly manner, with full-page illustrations of all 178 photographs. In addition,
the publication includes six new essays by five authors that deal with questions of identification, techniques, and dating of the prints as well as their conservation and preservation. They examine the provenance and impact history of the collection and compare the significance of the Luxembourg donation with other bequests made at the same time to institutions in the United States and overseas.
The significance of the astonishingly large number of family photographs in the Luxembourg bequest and Steichen's special role as a mediator of Modernism between Europe and the New World are also explored.
