For 30 years this show has been a magnet for all photography fans, from novices buying their first photograph to some of America’s top museum curators looking for something really unusual. There are over 400 photographs for sale by such masters as Edward Curtis, Lewis Hine, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Arthur Rothstein, Aaron Siskind, Josef Sudek, Lewis Hine, Eadweard Muybridge, Edward Curtis, Heinrich Kuhn, W. Eugene Smith, and Tony Ray-Jones, to the redoubtable, versatile anonymous vernacular photograph. Everything from the ridiculous to the sublime vies for the collector’s attention, with special groups of images purchased exclusively for this sale. Reductions up to 60%!
The show explores the pleasures of the inexpensive when the economy is in extremis at the same time as prices for collectable photographs are soaring. They often offer a wonderfully fresh vision which can still be found if you spend all year looking for them as we do. In fact some major museums have some of our “bargains” on display in their permanent collections. We are often their best kept secret. It’s all serious fun… Come play!
