The Hudson River Museum is presenting “Edward Steichen: In Exaltation of Flowers,” which will open on March 10 and remain on display through Feb. 18, 2024.

The paintings in the exhibition are complemented by photographs from the museum”™s collection, including a self-portrait by Steichen, works that depict women and flowers, as well as photographs by Rudolf Eickemeyer Jr., a contemporary of Steichen and one of the museum”™s founders.
