Carl Zigrosser first met Alfred Stieglitz in "291" around 1913-1914. Stieglitz took a friendly interest in the young print dealer, and Zigrosser made himself a useful assistant to the famous artist. Zigrosser became a frequent visitor to Stieglitz' galleries, a dinner companion in New York City, and a sometime visitor to Lake George. As Stieglitz aged, Zigrosser was a level-head willing to take care of some of the business details Stieglitz refused to address -- such as the disposition of his photgraphy library, his collection of historic photographs and, ultimately, Stieglitz' personal collection of important contemporary art.
