The Grohmann Museum and Google Cultural Institute present;
Steel: The Cycle of Industry
This collection is as much a distillation of David Plowden's career as it is about the steel industry. An overview of this industrial cycle allows the viewer to glimpse what Plowden calls his "lifelong preoccupation with man's works and his machines." Images are highlighted with comments from the photographer.
